The first-person shooter: The documentary “Lars Eidinger – To be or not to be” – Culture

From

Christine Dossel

Lars Eidinger worked out his final role at the Berlin drama school Ernst Busch himself. He chose Franz Moor, the canaille from Schiller’s “Kabale und Liebe”: the monologue in which he considers how he could kill his father. Eidinger sat silently in an armchair with a huge mountain of candy wrappers next to him and sucked on a drop while he mentally played through possible ways of dying. That lasted. After what felt like an eternity, he finally bit the candy and came up with the first sentence: “It’s taking me too long…” (Act 2, Scene 1). With which he immediately had a laugh – and the sympathies. An acting teacher from back then says: “Lars sucked the character.”
