[edit] Discussion header

What's the source for the date of the Three Colours: Red César as being 1994? http://www.ecrannoir.fr/evenements/prix/cesar/1995.htm says it was 1995, and it looks pretty comprehensive to me. Also [1] and [2], for example, say 95. Could be wrong of course. --Camembert

[edit] Van den Budenmayer

His music for Kieslowski, which is his best known work, is sometimes credited to a Dutch composer by the name of Van den Budenmayer. This is a pseudonym for Preisner himself, however.

This is a little unclear, in my opinion, so I rewrote it to how it stands below:

Preisner is best known for his work on Kieslowski's movies. Some of those movies make reference to a fictitious Dutch composer by the name of Van den Budenmayer, and Preisner writes the music which in the plot of the movie is said to be by Budenmayer.

I hope this is clearer to everyone. At the very least I'm sure it's clear to those who've watched Kieslowski's movies, such Bleu, Rouge, La Double Vie de Veronique and Dekalog 10. Robert Happelberg 19:11, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

- Not to be terribly pedantic (okay, yes, to be terribly pedantic), but it's actually Dekalog 9 which makes reference to Van den Budenmayer. Dekalog 10 is the one with the brothers and the stamp collection and the guard dogs. In case anyone thought they'd missed a reference!

-To be a little more pedantic, there is a reference to Van den Budenmayer in "Rouge", where Valentine tries to buy an album of his and finds that it is out of stock.

- In 'La Double Vie de Veronique', in the teacher character of the French Veronique, Irene Jacob tells her class about 'Van den Budenmayer'.
