In 2000 Krüger went to Maine, United States to study a Master Class Film Directing with American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer Paul Schneider; and in Los Angeles, United States he enrolled in an acting workshop with the American, author, script analyst, and actress Judith Weston.
[4] The film, which is based on the book Austerlitz by W. G. Sebald, features Antwerp’s main railway station as a location where history, daily life, fiction, and reality are in constant flux.
Running as a thread through the film are the dreams and reminiscences of a traveler, who arrives at Antwerp Central and through whose eyes we observe the station.
Krüger's second feature film, N - The Madness of Reason, was written in collaboration with Nigerian-born poet and novelist Ben Okri.
The film follows the spirit of Raymond Borremans (Michael Lonsdale), a French man who left Europe and who dies in 1988 in Abidjan.
