The Austrian is known for pushing people to extremes in his films. Did he force children into nudity for his new drama? The “Spiegel” claims that. But it also insinuates a lot.
“I’m being defamed”: Ulrich Seidl rejects all allegations.
Some find his films exciting, others get upset about them. For example, about the documentary “Im Keller” (2014): Ulrich Seidl looked into a few Austrian cellars, he found Nazi souvenirs and drunkards who toasted under the Hitler portrait. The film ended up with the prosecutor. Or ten years ago, in “Paradise: Love”, Seidl told freely about a Viennese sex tourist, 50, in Kenya. In the film “Paradise: Faith” there was a masturbation scene with a crucifix.
