Peter Krobath: What is it that motivates Brenner? In Come, Sweet Death the murders are committed pretty much within his immediate surroundings, there were personal reasons for getting involved, but this time you'd think he wouldn't really care about what's going on. Josef Hader: If we stick to the analogy of the fairy tale, what you've got in Silentium is a princess with a spell cast over her, and he wants to free her. He thinks this woman is very attractive and she's enshrouded in a dark secret – I'd say those are two pretty strong motivations for a man. Wolfgang Murnberger: Besides, she offers him the case. He loses his job as a department store detective, but what should he do, he still sees himself as a detective, that's how he always made a living, by getting hired to solve this or that case. He doesn't need a motive per se, it's just a question of survival. Josef Hader: Another way of putting it: he would probably accept a much less interesting case from a much less interesting woman too – but that wouldn't be as good for the movie. Peter Krobath: Berti, Brenner's good-natured partner in unraveling dark, tangled secrets, isn't in the original novel, so how did he get into the movie? Wolf Haas: It's no coincidence that in almost every crime story the detective always has a partner he can communicate with. In my book the closest thing you get to that is the narrator, and since we didn't put him in the film, this role had to be filled by someone else. So that would be the technical reason for having Berti in the movie. But also Brenner is so disillusioned that he wouldn't make for much of a plot by himself. That's why we need an antipode who with his naïve interest somehow manages to kindle the fire in a burnt-out Brenner. Wolfgang Murnberger: Even in Come, Sweet Death Berti was the character who talked to Brenner more than anyone. He turned out to be his communication partner. This duo worked so well that we decided we needed Berti in Silentium too. Josef Hader: Berti always manages to coax information out of Brenner that the viewer himself might be wanting to know too. But another aspect is that Simon Schwarz and I, and this is something we realized while working together in Come, Sweet Death, are able to give the film a degree of levity in an easy, uncomplicated way. And this is really refreshing, especially in such an evil, creepy fairy tale like Silentium. These are the scenes where we can be funny without compromising the big, overall story. Peter Krobath: With Come, Sweet Death and Silentium to your names you're on your way to becoming one of Austrian cinema's favorite boy groups. In the music branch this kind of thing usually only goes well for a few years, then the bass player wants to do his own thing and that's the end of that ... Wolfgang Murnberger: We've all already done the solo thing. Josef Hader: And are still doing them parallel to this. We're not the kind of boy group that only makes music together. We were all doing our own solo projects and in the middle of that we www.silentium.at
chose to be a boy group here and there. This kind of arrangement would last forever, but you don't find too many of our kind of group getting together. Peter Krobath: Sort of like Austria 3. Josef Hader: Yeah, exactly. Just barely scraping by, everyone was sick of hearing us alone, so we thought maybe we could squeeze a little bit more out of it as a threesome. Peter Krobath: Would it be safe to say that we haven't seen the last of you, that we can look forward to another Brenner sequel in the future? Josef Hader: We haven't had a falling out yet. Wolfgang Murnberger: Of course it depends on how audiences react to Silentium, but sure, we could see that happening.
