Magdalena Montezuma
0.00 5 minutes In March 1977, I published a poem about Magdalena Montezuma, actress, collaborator, and inspiration of German filmmaker Werner Schroeter, in issue 13 of the magazine Les Soleils d'Infernalia . This poem was included in my book Werner Schroeter, published by the Cinémathèque Française and the Goethe Institut in January 1982. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of my encounter with this brilliant actress, who passed away too soon, at the Berlin Film Festival in February 1980, I printed the text of this poem directly onto around twenty frames of The Death of Maria Malibran , Werner Schroeter's masterpiece.
