21.03.2012 | Coming soon: Markus Schleinzer on »Michael«

Fiction Factory is finishing production on two bonus features for upcoming DVD and blu-ray releases of Markus Schleinzer’s controversial debut feature, MICHAEL. The film, which was shown in competition at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, describes the last five months of 10-year-old Wolfgang and 35-year-old Michael’s involuntary life together. Robert Fischer filmed interviews with both writer/helmer Schleinzer (45 minutes) and main actor Michael Fuith (13 minutes) last January at the Max Ophüls Preis festival in Saarbrücken, where MICHAEL won two of the main awards: best film and best actor. Kino Kontrovers will release the film on DVD in Germany. World sales of MICHAEL are handled by Les Films du Losange, Paris.
