Georg Stefan Troller celebrates his 100th birthday. The Austrian journalist and filmmaker speaks in an interview about his youth in Vienna, his escape from the Nazis and his life in Paris.
Mr. Troller, what would you say: Have you led one life – or several?
It was a life that filled up to become what it is now. But it’s always the same guy who has filled himself with life and who saw that as his main task.
Was there a basic feeling that was always there?
I didn’t even begin to know what to do with my life until I was 30. It’s amazingly late, and that has led to a feeling of catching up that I’ve always had: I haven’t done enough yet, I have to do more. Hence the huge number of films I’ve made.
