Anton Corbijn - "U2 & i"
04.03.05 UM 20.00 / ARTE KULTUR
Der musikbegeisterte Corbijn arbeitet zur Zeit an einem Film über das Leben von Ian Curtis, Kult-Sänger der Band Joy Division, der sich in den 80er Jahren das Leben nahm. Aber ohne Zweifel ist es die Gruppe U2, mit der sich Corbijn bisher am meisten beschäftigt hat. Soeben ist ein epochales Buch erschienen (im Verlag Schirmer/Mosel) über 22 Jahre U2 Geschichte um die ganze Welt, mit dem Titel "U2 & i" und mehr als 400 Fotos der Band. Diesen Bildern ist eine Ausstellung in London gewidmet.

Luxury Hotel Opens at Hitler's Alpine Retreat
When Adolf Hitler first encountered the breathtaking mountain scenery and lofty isolation of Obersalzberg in the Bavarian Alps, he fell instantly in love with the spot.
Later as German leader he sealed off the hamlet, creating an exclusive retreat where he and other top Nazis could wine and dine, savor the crisp Alpine air, and plan the most barbarous acts of the Third Reich.
Sixty years on, the owners of a new luxury hotel in Obersalzberg, which opens this week, are hoping the area's serene natural charm can attract a different kind of visitor and open a new chapter in the area's blighted history.
