In conversation with Edward Berger | Ballad Of A Small Player, Conclave, and internet passwords

Update: 2025-10-24

Description

Oscar-winner Edward Berger joins us for a very special episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew. The pair meet to chat about Edward's new release, Ballad Of A Small Player, starring Colin Farrell. And the chat also goes back to Edward's early years making films for German television, through to finding himself on the awards circuit with All Quiet On The Western Front and Conclave.

As we'll discuss, not a bad journey for someone who took a huge gamble and turned down a safe job with Ang Lee's company...

Ballad Of A Small Player is on Netflix now.
