Ingeborg Bachmann – Jemand, der einmal ich war
In a poetic exploration of her legacy, director Regina Schilling invites the audience to witness the creation of art: actress Sandra Hüller delves into the life of Ingeborg Bachmann over the course of an imaginary day, lending her words a haunting presence. Through an artful interweaving of improvised scenes, archive treasures, interviews and Bachmann’s own texts, the film traces the central phases of the author’s life – from her childhood during the war in Carinthia, her rise to stardom within the Group 47, to her final days in Rome. Her path is marked by her complicated relationships with Paul Celan, Hans Werner Henze and Max Frisch, and an unyielding struggle to forge her own radical language amidst public fame and existential crises.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Ingeborg Bachmann’s birth, Regina Schilling succeeds in creating a sensuous and intellectual exploration of one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. Through Sandra Hüller’s powerful performance and masterful archival montages, Bachmann’s linguistic power becomes immediately tangible on the big screen.
