Das Schöne an Festivals – wie hier in Saarbrücken – ist das Einlassen auf Filme, die man ansonsten höchstwahrscheinlich nicht beachtet hätte. In 1995, pop megastar Michael Jackson, who had been friends with Marceau for nearly 20 years, planned a concert together with him for HBO, but the concert was canceled after Jackson was hospitalized for exhaustion during rehearsals.In 2000, Marceau brought his full mime company to New York City to present his new melodrama, The Bowler Hat, previously seen in Paris, London, Tokyo, Taipei, Caracas, Santo Domingo, Valencia (Venezuela), and Munich. He was schooled in the Paris suburbs at the home of Yvonne Hagnauer, while pretending to be a worker at the school she directed; Hagnauer would later receive the honor of Righteous Among the Nations from Yad Vashem. In his documentary, director Maurizius Staerkle Drux senses the legacy of this century artist and weaves exclusive archival material with a personal, contemporary look. I just wish it had been a tv series where each thread was given the justice it deserved, and not entwined throughout because inevitably, there are snags and knots.

Marceau accepted the honor and responsibilities of serving as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Second World Assembly on Aging, which took place in Madrid, Spain, in April 2002. Marceau was an elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts Berlin, the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France.Marcel Marceau is such an interesting figure, and this film attempts to pursue so many interesting threads of his life: his time in the French resistance rescuing children from the Nazis, his performance years, his family, his legacy; his family's attempts to stage a show about him, mine as a therapeutic tool, the directors relationship with his father via Marcel Marceau. Marcel and his older brother, Alain, adopted the last name "Marceau" during the German occupation of France; the name was chosen as a reference to François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers, a general of the French Revolution. Influenced by silent film sizes such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, he created a unique art form from it after the war that his heritages continue to this day. C., the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles demonstrating the timeless appeal of the work and the mastery of this unique artist. The structure of the film is incredible and really highlights just how much skill is actually involved in assembling an effective documentary.

Regisseur Maurizius Staerkle Drux versteht es, seine eigene Familiengeschichte (gehörloser Vater, der auch als Pantomime auftritt), Interviews mit den Verwandten und Schülern sowie das Filmen derer theatralischer Aktivitäten in sehr klug konzipierter Schnittfolge mit alten Aufnahmen des Meisters zu einem flüssigen Ganzen zu verbinden. Marceau's new total company production Les Contes Fantastiques ( Fantasy Tales) opened to great acclaim at the Théâtre Antoine in Paris. The City of Paris awarded him a grant which enabled him to reopen his International School which offered a three-year curriculum. Die Kunst der Stille” ist ein Dokumentarfilm über den verstorbenen Großmeister der Pantomime – Marcel Marceau. He inspired several generations of artists, including his grandson and his family, who shed new light on his life’s work.Foreword to Stefan Niedziałkowski's and Jonathan Winslow's 1993 book, Beyond the Word—the World of Mime. In 1982, Le Troisième Œil, ( The Third Eye), his collection of ten original lithographs, was published in Paris with an accompanying text by Marceau. His last film appearances included small roles in Klaus Kinski's Paganini (1989) and Joseph's Gift (1998). The art of silence speaks to the soul, like music, making comedy, tragedy, and romance, involving you and your life. In 1949, following his receipt of the Deburau Prize (established as a memorial to the 19th-century mime master Jean-Gaspard Deburau) for his second mimodrama, Death before Dawn, Marceau founded Compagnie de Mime Marcel Marceau, the only company of pantomime in the world at the time.
