Sound Stages
"It was a real thrill to work in Babelsberg studios. I was really taken with the place. The back lot was fantastic. I’m a film expert; I’m a film scholar so to be in a film studio where all the great films of the 1920s were made, and a time which I consider to be one of the highpoints of cinema history…It’s just magnificent!"
Quentin Tarantino, Director, „Inglourious Basterds“
