Hanno P\u00f6schl \u00a9 Diagonale\/Paul Pibernig<\/p><\/div>\n
An exceptional actor in the spotlight of the Diagonale\u201919<\/strong><\/p>\n
A Viennese man of the world in the cinema<\/u><\/h3>\n
Those who have had the pleasure of experiencing Hanno P\u00f6schl on TV, in the movies, or on stage, will surely remember the charismatic man from Vienna. The actor P\u00f6schl has worked in numerous films, television series, and theater productions as an unmistakable embodiment of the archetypical \u201cHomo Austriacus.\u201d He has frequently played a grumpy urbanite or shady lowlife \u2013 supposedly superficial roles, which in his case, however, turn out to be complex characters when taking a closer look. And finally, the aura of his roles, embodied with an ever-present verve and emphatic nonchalance, brought P\u00f6schl from Vienna to the world\u2019s cinemas.<\/p>\n
In its Spotlight on<\/u> series, the Diagonale\u201919 is devoting a film program to one of Austria\u2019s most interesting and highly charismatic actors. And by following along the biography of Hanno P\u00f6schl, also allows for reflection on the most recent history of Austrian cinema.<\/p>\n
Hanno P\u00f6schl will be present at all screenings. The series will be complemented by an extensive Diagonale im Dialog following the screening of Querelle<\/em>.<\/p>\n
The life of an allrounder
\nOr: From handicraft to the craftsmanship of <\/u>acting<\/span><\/h3>\n
Hanno P\u00f6schl\u2019s biography is just as fascinating and diverse as his acting engagements. P\u00f6schl grew up in Vienna and after completing his apprenticeship as a confectioner, worked at a car wash, as an auto mechanic, a representative, an asphalt layer, candle maker, driver for a forwarding company, and at a vineyard. After attending the Lamberg-Offer acting school, he worked as an assistant director and performer in the Circus Roncalli.<\/p>\n
His acting career, on the other hand, began in the theater. Hanno P\u00f6schl first had guest appearances in Vienna with the Ensemble Theater, at the Akademietheater, and also at the Schauspielhaus, where he then had a permanent engagement beginning in 1974. His distinctive acting ultimately led him to Vienna\u2019s Burgtheater. After his performance in the role of the Fiscur in Ferenc Moln\u00e1r\u2019s Liliom<\/em> in 1992, he became a permanent member of the ensemble under Claus Peymann. In the course of his theater career, it was the collaboration with greats such as Hans Gratzer, George Tabori, and Frank Castorf, that increasingly solidified P\u00f6schl\u2019s reputation as an experienced actor.<\/p>\n
The film adaptation of one of the most famous Austrian theater plays marked Hanno P\u00f6schl\u2019s entry into the world of film in 1979. His role alongside Helmut Qualtinger and Birgit Doll in Maximilian Schell\u2019s Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald <\/em>(AT 1979) based on \u00d6d\u00f6n von Horv\u00e1th lay the cornerstone for a long career in film. In 1980, P\u00f6schl could be seen together with Paulus Manker in Franz Novotny\u2019s film Exit \u2026 Nur keine Panik<\/em> (AT\/BRD 1980). An equally legendary and controversial milestone of the then young, so-called new Austrian film.<\/p>\n
As a result, P\u00f6schl\u2019s film career took off further. He thus appeared in numerous German-language film and television productions \u2013 often with his devilish grin and a charisma that rarely lacked a typical Viennese duplicity. Roles in Kir Royal<\/em>, Ein Fall f\u00fcr zwei<\/em>, Der Alte<\/em>, Derrick<\/em>, Kaiserm\u00fchlen Blues<\/em>, and last but not least, Kottan ermittelt<\/em>: Der Geburtstag (Folge 2)<\/em> (D: Peter Patzak, AT 1977) and also in Die Industrie entl\u00e4sst ihre Kinder<\/em> (D: Claus Homschak, AT 1976) made P\u00f6schl one of the most well-known television faces of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Prominent as an undisputed climax in the dense oeuvre of Hanno P\u00f6schl is the collaboration with the exceptional German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder shortly before Fassbinder\u2019s premature death: In 1982, P\u00f6schl was part of the cast for Fassbinder\u2019s final feature film Querelle<\/em> (BRD\/FR 1982), during the production of which he is meant to have once again met Roger Fritz. Already 1981, Hanno P\u00f6schl acted in Roger Fritz\u2019s Film Frankfurt Kaiserstra\u00dfe<\/em>. Here again, P\u00f6schl acted in a shady milieu, in a role that, more than ever before, was considerably more complex than visible at first glance. A role with dissident, subversive, and queer potential \u2013 albeit in an entirely different tonality than in Fassbinder\u2019s masterpiece Querelle<\/em>. When Fassbinder\u2019s cameraman Xaver Schwarzenberger celebrated his directing debut in 1983 with the filming of Gerhard Roth\u2019s novel Der Stille Ozean<\/em> (AT\/BRD 1983), P\u00f6schl had the chance to present his broad acting repertoire in a much more serious, introverted role without having to forgo his distinctive gestures.<\/p>\n
In the 1990s, P\u00f6schl appeared in the role of the mechanic Max in the television series Medicopter 117<\/em>. P\u00f6schl\u2019s acting, with its remarkable earnest, and simultaneous lightness, allowed him to master even such low-threshold formats. His ability to make milieus, and also an entire world tangible by means of minimal gestures and in extremely brief appearances, also fascinated the world cinema: A guest appearance in James Bond 007 \u2013 The Living Daylights<\/em>\u00a0was followed by one in 1995 in Richard Linklater\u2019s legendary film shot in Vienna, Before Sunrise<\/em>, which would make the city and its unmistakable characters popular far beyond the borders. Before withdrawing from acting, P\u00f6schl connected with his great cinema roles one final time in 2008 in G\u00f6tz Spielmann\u2019s Oscar nominee film Revanche<\/em> (AT 2008). Ever since, other than a short intermezzo on the satirical television series B\u00d6sterreich<\/em>, the inimitable P\u00f6schl has rarely appeared on the movie screen or television.<\/p>\n
The host who was once an actor<\/u><\/h3>\n
Hanno P\u00f6schl has always had an uncompromisingly (self-)critical and refreshing relationship to the branch and to his artistic oeuvre. That might have something to do with the fact that he has always had a business on the side. As a restaurant proprietor, he has created a legendary gathering place, his Kleines Caf\u00e9 at Franziskanerplatz, which he continues to run today.<\/p>\n
Hanno P\u00f6schl is celebrating his 70th<\/sup> birthday in 2019. Listening to him talk about his checkered and moving career is far more than a mere succession of anecdotes. Several decades of Austrian and international film and cinema history come alive and become tangible in all their facets and contradictions. With great pleasure, the Diagonale awaits an eye-opening and buoyant journey through the oeuvre of the actor Hanno P\u00f6schl.<\/p>\n
