Question: What year did the auto show take place?

He mused about dropping muscular diesel engines into sporty cars like the Audi R8 coupe — “My dream is an R8 with a diesel engine,” he said at the Los Angeles auto show in 2007. At the same time, he had to bring engines to market that could meet a complex suite of toughening regulations in the United States, particularly in California and other states like New York that opt to follow California’s more stringent air quality rules. “We will do what is possible, but we should keep the pleasure” and keep cars “fun to drive,” he said in remarks in October 2007 at the California technology demonstration. His remarks were filmed by DrivingtheNation.com, an auto website. “It’s not just about transport; our business, it’s also about pleasure,” he said.

Question: What kind of regulations did Mr. Hatz refer to?

While Mr. Hatz was referring to carbon dioxide regulations, and Volkswagen’s cheating scandal is centered on smog-forming pollutants, managing both kinds of emissions presents an interlocking puzzle for automakers. At times, Mr. Hatz could sound defeatist. “Perhaps we have just small Korean and Japanese cars in this country,” he said. “We have to be realistic.” And he was dismissive of the prospects for the big Detroit automakers. “I cannot see a way with their program that they can fulfill these regulations,” he said. “There’s no way.” At the time, California regulators, along with regulators in Washington, already had rules in place for emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that were the toughest in the world, and California was also proposing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars. While diesels have better fuel economy and, by extension, lower emissions of global warming gases, they have higher emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that require special treatment systems. The company was plunged into an internal struggle about how to proceed. Wolfgang Bernhard, a former Daimler executive who ran the Volkswagen brand, had championed a technology-sharing agreement with Mercedes-Benz and BMW to jointly develop a system using urea, which neutralizes nitrogen oxides. Publicly, Mr. Hatz supported the technology, which Mercedes markets as Bluetec.

Question: When was the Detroit auto show?

“Bluetec technology allows us to demonstrate Audi’s commitment to always being at the very forefront of diesel technology,” he said in remarks at the Detroit auto show at the beginning of 2007. But internal friction within the company was already building. Mr. Bernhard unexpectedly did not attend that auto show, and soon resigned. Behind the scenes, Mr. Hatz was part of a faction at the company that supported using a less expensive system that did not require urea, according to two Volkswagen managers who were in a position to witness the clashes. The managers requested anonymity because they did not want to jeopardize their relationships with Volkswagen. Mr. Hatz’s viewpoint won out and the technology-sharing arrangement was soon scrapped.

One day, a gendarme, Balducci (Vincent Martin), rides up on horseback to Daru’s schoolhouse with an Arab prisoner, Mohamed (Reda Kateb), on foot. <hl> Balducci explains that the prisoner, who’s never named in the Camus story, has cut the throat of a cousin (“ like a sheep ”) and now Daru needs to take Mohamed to another town for some French justice and certain death. <hl> Daru refuses, but when Balducci rides off, the teacher is left with Mohamed and a quandary. After giving Mohamed dinner and a bed, and after a restive night with a gun by his side, Daru wakes to tell Mohamed that he can leave of his own accord. This seems as if it should be an easy call, but Daru’s assumptions about free will don’t pan out. Mohamed refuses to flee.

Question: Who is the director of photography?

Before long, the men are tramping through the desert, where step by step, over one and then another crest, they walk and periodically speak, sharing meals and assorted dangers. With the director of photography Guillaume Deffontaines, Mr. Oelhoffen conveys the striking, multicolored glories of this rough landscape, with all its sun-shot gradations of red and brown, without descending into picture-postcard banality. (The movie was shot in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.) Many of the movie’s most effective scenes involve the men just walking through this extraordinary landscape, the warring splendor and harshness of their surroundings — equally inviting and foreboding — as seemingly at odds as the attraction-repulsion that initially defines Daru and Mohamed’s relationship.

Question: Who plays Slimane?

Although astringent by mainstream movie standards, “Far From Men” is shored up with increasingly personalized conversations between Daru and Mohamed that explain the men, their lives and times. At one point, they come across a small detachment of Algerian guerrillas that includes Slimane (Djemel Barek), a former army compatriot of Daru’s, and which for a short, eventful interlude swallows the travelers up. Mr. Oelhoffen sometimes explains too much, but his work with the actors is precise and delicate. Both Mr. Kateb and Mr. Mortensen, who deliver their dialogue in Arabic and French (Mr. Mortensen also speaks a little Spanish), are generous performers and they share the screen easily. They’re playing nomads from separate histories and cultures who, in their radical isolation, turn out to be right at home.

Question: What kind of roads did Formula One used to race on?

Q. What other differences do you see between then and now in Formula One? A. Before, I loved it that it happened on public roads. In Belgium, after the race, after the deaths, we drove around and to look for where it had happened, driving down to Malmedy and thinking about the war. I don’t know how you can make people understand the difference between a public road and a manufactured piste, manufactured corners, and escape roads in every direction and nothing to hit. Q. But Monza was always a track in a park. That hasn’t changed much. A. Yes, that never impressed me, I never liked it. I loved Belgium, I loved Germany, the setting, the fact that they were public roads. Reims was a road race, and you could imagine the Germans coming over in tanks but it was race cars going in the other direction. It wasn’t much of a circuit, it was only a triangle, very, very fast and there was a wrinkle here and there. It was part of the Champagne country and they gave Champagne for the fastest lap and things like that. It really was a French Grand Prix as opposed to another Grand Prix. Today nothing changes except the crowd.
