And the one-eyed cat? It got a credit: “Consultant.” It still waits by the shop door, long after the shutters rusted shut.
In the grimy, rain-slicked back alleys of Berlin, nestled between a defunct punk club and a Turkish supermarket, stood the “Berlin Star Film United Pigs.” It wasn’t a cinema, nor a production house. It was a butcher shop. But not for sausages or schnitzel.
The proprietor, an old auteur named Klaus, had lost his way in the 90s. Once, he’d been the enfant terrible of German cinema. Now, he cured ham. His “pigs” were his actors: a motley crew of desperate dreamers, washed-up stars, and ambitious runaways who worked behind the counter in exchange for a line in a script that Klaus had been rewriting for twenty-three years. The script was called Berlin Star , a sprawling, impossible epic about a city that eats its children.
