Elfriede Jelinek – die Sprache von der Leine lassen

"Child prodigy, scandalous author, traitor to the fatherland, feminist, model lover, communist, language terrorist, rebel, enfant terrible, nest fouler, brilliant, vulnerable artist".

Claudia Müller's film about Elfriede Jelinek, who in 2004 was the first Austrian writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, focuses on her artistic approach to language. In a multi-layered and associative way, he approaches the art of his protagonist with her own linguistic compositional procedures. With the participation and voices of Ilse Ritter, Sandra Hüller, Stefanie Reinsperger, Sophie Rois, Maren Kroymann and Martin Wuttke, a multi-layered and fascinating film portrait has been created.
