Documentary film "Ingeborg Bachmann - Someone I Once Was"

Description

Sandra Hüller as the writer Ingeborg Bachmann – in an artful weave of improvised scenes, archival treasures, interviews, and Bachmann's own texts. In a poetic search for traces, director Regina Schilling lets the audience participate in the creation of art: actress Sandra Hüller approaches the life of Ingeborg Bachmann on an imaginary day and gives her words a compelling presence. With an artful weave of improvised scenes, archival treasures, interviews, and Bachmann's own texts, the film traverses the central phases of the author's life – from her war childhood in Carinthia, the rise to star of Group 47, to the last days in Rome. The path is marked by her complicated relationships with Paul Celan, Hans Werner Henze, and Max Frisch and an unrelenting struggle for her own, radical language between public fame and existential crises.
