Rudolf Körösi

Rudolf Körösi (born October 31, 1938 in Germany ) is a German cameraman with two trips to directing documentation in 1971.

Life

Körösi trained as a low-voltage technician and joined the film and television industry in 1958 as a camera assistant. In the early 1960s he began to photograph mostly short documentaries on his own, and since the second half of the same decade, Körösi has also been regularly brought in for television productions with a game story. Since that time he has worked with such renowned directors as Peter Schulze-Rohr , Klaus Wildenhahn , Wolfgang Staudte , Eberhard Itzenplitz , Vojtěch Jasný , Claus Peter Witt and again and again Eberhard Fechner . His sensitive camera work on Fechner's documentary about the suicide of a lonely old lady, defamation of Klara Heydebreck (1969), is of particular importance .

Körösi's experience as a cinematic documentarist benefited him with ambitious, calm and precisely observing television (e.g. Four Hours of Elbe 1 ) and feature films (e.g. Winterspelt 1944 ), for which Körösi created the desired brittle, sparse and glamor-free image compositions delivered. For his work on Rolf Schübel's 1987 production Der Indianer , Körösi received the 1990 Adolf Grimme Prize in gold. As early as 1971, in collaboration with Hans-Michael Bock , on the occasion of the 80th birthday of the film veteran Fritz Rasp, he shot a portrait of this old star and, with Bock, also realized a one-hour portrait of famous cameramen of German film under the title 18 Pictures by Hand . There, Günther Anders , Richard Angst , Konstantin Irmen-Tschet and Igor Oberberg provided information about their work.

Rudolf Körösi also oversaw television series from time to time; The ZDF multi-part Death of a Schoolboy , which he and his wife Ursula photographed, was a much-discussed media event at the beginning of 1981. But he was also behind the camera in far less ambitious but extremely popular productions, above all the quota racer Der Bastian with Horst Janson and Karin Anselm , which was produced in 1972 in the Olympic city of Munich . In 1986 Rudolf Körösi shot the Detective Office Roth series with Manfred Krug and in 1995 also a Stubbe series with Wolfgang Stumph . A quarter of a century earlier, Körösi also photographed a very early crime scene crime novel by Eberhard Fechner.

Körösi, who lives in Rellingen in Schleswig-Holstein at the gates of Hamburg, retired from the job at the turn of the millennium.
