BuchScout@Cinema: 19.10.23 INGEBORG BACHMANN – JOURNEY INTO THE DESERT by Margarethe von Trotta

The new film, which already premiered in competition at the Berlinale, is based on a project idea by Suzanne Pradel.

When Ingeborg Bachmann (VICKY KRIEPS) and Swiss writer Max Frisch (RONALD ZEHRFELD) meet in Paris in 1958, it is the beginning of a passionate and destructive love story. For four years, the two carry on a grueling relationship that begins in Paris and leads to Rome via Zurich. But artistic disputes and the devouring jealousy of Max Frisch begin to gradually destroy the harmony. Years later, Ingeborg Bachmann cannot let go of the memory of her love for Max Frisch. On a trip to the desert, she tries to come to terms with her relationship with Max Frisch and slowly detach herself from it.
