Being that I’ve always been an ulli lommel fan, I’ve decided to put out a blog that I am hoping to update from time to time.
I recommend reading a little bit into his career highlights and for that I will add a small excerpt from wiki:
Lommel started his career as an actor in films in 1960’s. One of his earliest film roles was in Russ Meyer’s Fanny Hill. In 1969 he starred in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s directorial debut Love Is Colder Than Death. The cast as an ensemble won an award at the German Film Awards in 1970.
Fassbinder and Lommel worked together more than 20 times after 1967. Fassbinder also produced Lommel’s The Tenderness of Wolves which was Lommel’s second film as director. He was nominated in Berlin International Film Festival for Golden Berlin Bear. Ulli Lommel participated in the documentary Fassbinder in Hollywood (2002).
Lommel moved to the USA in 1977 and started working with Andy Warhol who produced his films Cocaine Cowboys and Blank Generation. In 1980 Lommel directed The Boogeyman which became a hit[citation needed] and made the UK’s ‘Video Nasties’ list. After that he went to make films like BrainWaves with Tony Curtis and Vera Miles, The Devonsville Terror with Donald Pleasence and Revenge of the Stolen Stars with Klaus Kinski.
