job

Rudnik played her first major film role in Beate Klöckner's 1981 debut film Kopfschuss , which was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 1982 . She embodied a movie ticket seller who, after work, plunges into the gears of the big nocturnal city, where scenes and spaces from movies begin to dominate her thinking and visions enliven her, in truth, dreary existence. In 1981 she shot in Jochen Richter's Am Ufer der Dämmerung . Parallel to her film work, she was engaged in the Munich off-theater scene and made guest appearances with the Müller Truppe in Shakespeare's Antonius and Cleopatra and as Marie in Büchner's Woyzeck . Rudnik's other film work remained closely associated with directors such as Jochen Richter , Beate Klöckner , Dominik Graf (hit) and Hans-Christoph Blumenberg .

The much-praised Rudnik , who was celebrated as the new Lauren Bacall , got another leading role in Capriccio Infernale , a film by television director Wilma Kottusch, which Südwest3 aired in 1983. Hans Christoph Blumenberg brought Rudnik in front of the camera in 1984 for his first feature film Thousand Eyes . In this erotic thriller she played the student Gabriele, who wants to earn the money for a flight to Australia as a peep show attraction. Rudnik's partners in this film were Armin Mueller-Stahl , Gudrun Landgrebe and Peter Kraus . After that, Rudnik remained a popular actress in film and television. She played leading roles in over 45 German and international productions.

This is also the case in Niki List's 1985 film Müller's office and in Ulf Miehe's The Invisible One as well as in the ZDF productions Forever Young ( Vivian Naefe ) and Liebes Leben ( Hartmut Griesmayr ). Douce France and La presqu'île with Gérard Blain were the names of their first productions for French cinema. In 1992 she stood in front of the camera for the French television productions Evasion and Chute Libre and on ZDF she was seen as the East German teacher Inge Scholl in Michael Lähn's crime drama Rotlicht and as headhunter Laure Petersen in Die Schöne Feindin .

In 1994 Rudnik starred in the ZDF series Die Stadtindianer and in 1995, among other things, in Blumenberg's Tatort episode A surefire trap . A career boost brought the roles of the Sabine Amman in 1995 alongside Götz George in The Sandman , 1996, Mother Elizabeth, directed by Nico Hofmann in by Bernd Eichinger produced television remake of the classic It happened in broad daylight and in 1998 the role of Johanna Steinmann , again alongside Götz George, in solo for clarinet , again directed by Nico Hofman.

Her roles in Dennis Satins In old friendship and in Michael Steinke's Das Bombenspiel from the ZDF series A strong team attracted attention . She then shot a creature movie for RTL with the production Das Biest im Bodensee , in which the title role was created entirely on the computer for the first time. As an undercooled coroner, she acted alongside the rustic inspector Harry Voss ( Michael Mendl ) in Bodo Fürneisen's television thriller Dangerous Truth (1999) about a pharmaceutical scandal.

She also stood in front of the camera as Rut Brandt in the ARD multi-part series Im Schatten der Macht (2003; written and directed by Oliver Storz ) about the last twelve days before the resignation of Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt , and shot the thriller Tödliches with Otto Sander in Kassel Trust (2002), took over the role of Commissioner Simone Dreyer in the ARD crime series Polizeiruf 110 ( gray area , offside trap ) from February 2002 and joined the ARD program as a special school teacher in ghetto kids . According to critics, Martin Eigler's convincing pilot film Death in the Park for the crime series Solo für Schwarz , in which she went in search of her almost unknown father as the criminal psychologist Hannah Schwarz, lived from her haunting presence .

Til Schweiger dedicated his film Zweiohrküken to her , in whose forerunner Keinohrhasen she played a supporting role.

Again and again she played in the theater because, by her own admission, she appreciated the “special atmosphere” there. Barbara Rudnik was one of the initiators of the Federal Association of Film and TV Actors, which was founded in April 2006 .
