Biography

Dans les années 1970, il s'est occupé de l'Académie du film et de la télévision de Munich. En 1979, il a su miser sur un petit studio de cinéma naissant, Neue Constantin Film (qui reprenait le nom d'un ancien géant de la production allemande), en devenant le directeur exécutif. Sous sa conduite, c'est devenue une entreprise parmi les plus florissantes du cinéma allemand. En 2005, il en a été nommé président du conseil de surveillance et il était propriétaire d'une part substantielle de son capital social avant sa disparition en 2011.

Bernd Eichinger est le principal producteur du Nom de la rose de Jean-Jacques Annaud en 1986, qui a connu un succès mondial avec plus de 77 millions de $ de recettes dans plus de 30 pays.

Bernd a produit aussi quelques films de manière indépendante (par exemple La Chute (Der Untergang)).

Il meurt d'une crise cardiaque le 24 janvier 2011 à Los Angeles.

Bastian Balthazar Bux (Barret Oliver), a shy and friendless bibliophile child, hides in a bookstore, interrupting the grumpy bookseller, Mr. Coreander (Thomas Hill). Bastian asks about one of the books he sees, but Mr. Coreander advises against it; despite which, Bastian seizes the book, leaving a note promising to return it, and hides in the school's attic to read. The book describes the world of Fantasia threatened by a force called "The Nothing"; where the Childlike Empress (Tami Stronach) who rules over Fantasia has fallen ill, and has summoned Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) to discover the cure. Atreyu is therefore given the AURYN. As Atreyu sets out, the Nothing summons Gmork (voiced by Alan Oppenheimer), a werewolf, to kill Atreyu.

The film begins with the sentencing of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw), a notorious murderer. Between the reading of the sentence and the execution, the story of his life is told in flashback, beginning with his abandonment at birth in a French fish market. Raised in an orphanage, Grenouille grows into a strangely detached boy with a superhuman sense of smell. After growing to maturity as a tanner's apprentice, he makes his first delivery to Paris, where he revels in the new odors. He focuses on a redheaded girl (Karoline Herfurth) selling yellow plums, following her and repeatedly attempting to sniff her, but startles her with his behavior. To prevent her from crying out, he covers the girl's mouth and unintentionally suffocates her. After realizing that she is dead, he strips her body naked and smells her all over, becoming distraught when her scent fades. Afterwards, Grenouille is haunted by the desire to recreate the girl's aroma.

After her eldest brother's sudden death, their father wants to send his second son John to the cathedral school in Dorestad, but when the teacher Aesculapius (Edward Petherbridge) visits them in Ingelheim, Joan proves to be far more capable of dealing with the Scriptures than John.
