‘Köln 75’ Director Ido Fluk on 18-Year-Old Vera Brandes Who Organized Keith Jarrett’s ‘The Koln Concert’ – Clip (EXCLUSIVE)
'Koln 75' director Ido Fluk discusses 18-Year-Old Vera Brandes who organized Keith Jarrett's 'The Koln Concert' and why Jarrett was not on board.
Half a century later, director Ido Fluk is in Berlin premiering “Köln 75” about the woman behind this monumental moment in jazz history. Fluk speaks to Variety about the fun film – starring John Magaro, recently seen in “September 5,” as Keith Jarrett and rising German star Mala Emde as Vera Brandes – and why it was important “to give Vera the attention, the limelight that she deserves.” And I went and I showed a few pages to [Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker-producer] Oren Moverman, who is like my personal patron saint, and produced my last film, “The Ticket.” And he said: “Huh, that’s kind of cool.” He has a background in music films with the Beach Boys movie and the Cate Blanchett, Bob Dylan thing [Todd Haynes-directed “I’m Not There”] and he sent it to Sol Bondy in Germany.
