Journalist

German writer who lost all of her illusions


Born in Berlin, buried in Paris (not yet). Loves movies. Hates some, too. Critic of film and most other things. Professional movie journalist. Apart from the “getting paid“ part.

When she was born, she didn’t even own the clothes on her back. But despite never having had any skills whatsoever, she found out that with determination and a positive attitude you will get absolutely nowhere. She worked herself up from poverty to utter financial destitution. In case you’re owed money by a certain person of the same name, this is definitely not her. Coming from nothing, this is what she aspires to. On the way to the top to which she never came even remotely close, she lost her illusions. If you happen to find them, please return them promptly.
