Overview
- Berger suffered a complicated femur fracture in a mid-January fall during rehearsals in Hamburg and underwent significant surgery.
- The injury forced her to miss the January 28 world premiere of Ach, diese Lücke, diese entsetzliche Lücke in Munich, so she has not yet seen the film in a theater.
- Verhoeven said at a Berlinale-related reception that he will organize a private screening for her once she returns from rehabilitation to experience the film with a full audience.
- He noted the film led the German box office last week, drew about 220,000 viewers in its first week, and he hopes attendance will exceed one million.
- Berger plays a leading role in the film directed by her son, who said she was in strong condition during filming and is now recuperating in a Munich rehab clinic.
