With her film “Corsage” about Empress Sisi, the Austrian director Marie Kreutzer is in the preselection for the foreign Oscar. The actor Florian Teichtmeister plays Emperor Franz Joseph in it. It has been known for two weeks that Teichtmeister was in possession of around 58,000 files showing the sexual abuse of children; he will soon be on trial in Vienna. Kreutzer is now facing massive criticism, as is the directorship of the Burgtheater, where the artist was cast in major roles until the very end: she ignored the allegations against the prominent actor for the sake of her own success and gave the perpetrator a stage. Kreutzer struggles to keep his composure in the SZ interview.
