New Films from Germany

She is Austrian, he Swiss; she is a poet, he a playwright; she is a daredevil yet vulnerable, he is adventurous but a little conservative. When Ingeborg Bachmann and Max Frisch meet for the first time in Paris in the summer of 1958, they are already international celebrities of the literary world. Their love is passionate, but professional and personal friction begins to disrupt the harmony.

She only realises afterwards that she is suffering, and by how much – with Adolf Opel in the desert, and with Hans Werner Henze in Italy. Margarethe von Trotta interweaves the times before and after the catastrophe. Her direction is frank, sober and elegant. Ronald Zehrfeld as the corpulent, pipe-smoking Frisch and Vicky Krieps are the perfect match. This film is not about Bachmann’s fatal end, but about her hopes for love and respect, in literature, and in life.


Language: German, Italian and French with English Subtitles

Director: Margarethe von Trotta
