The producers, Luna W and Les Films du Balibari, are circulating different versions some of which show scenes filmed secretly, not included in the authorizations signed by Michael Meschke. They are his puppet Shen Te walking in a church and the separated head of his puppet Don Quichotte in a Paris street, métro, Pigalle, the director´s bathtub, bed etc. In spite of the qualities of the film, Michael Meschke repudiates the unethical procedure and regrets the producers refusal to withdraw these unauthorized scenes, also to provide complete credits about participants and about the authors of the literary quotations in this film, namely Sophocles, August Strindberg, Bertold Brecht and Michael Meschke. |
