Bruno Ganz as the Count (spoiler)


When I read the novella, I had no concrete vision how this impossible character could be like, but when Bruno Ganz appeared on the screen, my first thought was that he was completely miscast in this role. He comes across as melancholic and reflective, which makes his deed even more unbelievable. I guess an impulsive and impassioned man would appear less inconsistent in this role. On the other hand Bruno Ganz squared the circle by successfully appealing to the audience's compassion.
