Literary portrait with cinematic intensity

Regina Schilling approaches Ingeborg Bachmann not as a monument, but as a living author. Archive material, interviews, improvised scenes, and texts by the writer combine to create a portrait that makes visible the fragility and intellectual radiance of this exceptional figure. Sandra Hüller lends presence and rhythm to Bachmann’s words; thus, a literary experience emerges that transcends mere biography.

An author of European stature

Ingeborg Bachmann became known with the award from Group 47, followed later by the Georg Büchner Prize and the German Critics' Prize, among others. Her central works include the poetry collections The Awarded Time and The Invocation of the Great Bear, the short story collection The Thirtieth Year, and the novel Malina. Her writing continues to shape the literary discourse on language, violence, gender relations, and post-war experience.
