## Fi1m on Hanns Zischler

> Zischler plays men who think before they speak and often do not speak at all. From Wenders' *Kings of the Road* in 1976 to Pawlikowski's Thomas Mann, he keeps his face still and makes us wait, and the waiting is usually worth it.

Hanns Zischler's Thomas Mann in *Fatherland* (2026) has decided to be a monument and finds it restful. He is courteous, slow, vain in the way of a man who has earned it, and almost impossible to read; Sandra Hüller's Erika spends the film trying, and so did we. Then he says one unguarded thing and it lands hard, because Zischler has spent the best part of the film's 82 minutes giving us nothing. That is not a trick he learned for Pawlikowski. It is what he has been doing since the 1970s.

He never trained as an actor. He was studying philosophy, literature and music in Munich and Berlin in the late 1960s when he started turning up in Wim Wenders' early shorts, and *Kings of the Road* (1976), with Zischler as Robert, made him one of the faces of New German Cinema. He went on to make four films with Wenders, eight with Rudolf Thome and two with István Szabó, and from the 1990s he began appearing in international productions: *Munich* (2005), as Hans, one of Eric Bana's team; *Clouds of Sils Maria* (2014), as Henryk Wald; *Babylon Berlin* (2017), as Engelbert Rath. All the while he has worked as a translator, essayist, photographer and publisher, which may explain why he so often plays men who look as though they have something better to read.

He once said, "Ich bin kein Schauspieler, ich bin Darsteller." An actor performs; a Darsteller shows you something and lets you look. That is exactly the effect. Directors cast him as intellectuals, professionals and men given to reflection, and he plays them without reaching for us. It moved us more than we had bargained for in *Fatherland*, and the reason is that he never asked us to be moved: the civility was so complete that the single crack in it did the work of a whole speech.

The method has a cost. It needs a director who will wait with him, and Pawlikowski does. In a busier film he can go missing; our review of *Munich* rates the film highly and does not mention him at all, which we suspect he would take as a job done, but it means the stillness can read as absence when nobody points a camera at it for long enough. He is at his best as the man the other characters cannot work out, with someone like Hüller in the scene to do the working out.

He has spent close to sixty years declining to become any one thing in particular, and it has ended with him becoming Thomas Mann. If you have only seen him in the Spielberg, start with *Fatherland* and then go back to *Kings of the Road*, where the same unhurried face is not yet thirty and already keeping its own counsel.
