Predictably, nothing came of this plan, and the filmmakers instead hired a professional motorcycle driver, Joseph Koch. (Koch's wife also appears in the film.) Zitat At one point the camera motorcycle, carrying cameraman Jørgen Roos in its sidecar, approached a truck so fast that the driver panicked and swerved into them, driving the cycle off the road and into a tree. Luckily, neither the driver nor Roos hit the tree head on, but both were thrown from the vehicle, and Roos sustained a broken wrist and rib. When Carl Theodor Dreyer reached the scene, he inspected the camera first to see if it was damaged before checking to see if Roos and the driver were okay. -- Last edit: 2010-02-19 03:21:26
