It’s not uncommon for a film to have a moving love story at its core. Yet this particular set-up is unusual. The lovers here are Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan, both important representatives of post-war German-language poetry. The story of the relationship between the Austrian and the Jew from Czernowitz is told through their nearly 20-year correspondence (1948–1967). Or, more precisely, by a young woman and a young man reading from their letters in a studio in Vienna’s venerable Funkhaus.

ಒಂದು ಚಿತ್ರದ ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮನಮುಟ್ಟುವ ಪ್ರೇಮಕಥೆ ಇರುವುದು ಅಪರೂಪವಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ಈ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸವೇ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ವಿಚಿತ್ರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೇಮಿಗಳಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರು ಇಂಗೆಬೋರ್ಗ್ ಬಾಕ್‌ಮನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಪೌಲ್ ಸೆಲಾನ್—ಯುದ್ಧಾನಂತರದ ಜರ್ಮನ್ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಕಾವ್ಯದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಗಳು. ಆಸ್ಟ್ರಿಯಾದವರಾದ ಬಾಕ್‌ಮನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಝೆರ್‌ನೋವಿಟ್ಸ್‌ನ ಯೆಹೂದಿ ಸೆಲಾನ್ ನಡುವಿನ ಸಂಬಂಧದ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಅವರು ಸುಮಾರು 20 ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ (1948–1967) ಬರೆದ ಪತ್ರವಿನಿಮಯದ ಮೂಲಕ ಹೇಳಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಥವಾ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ನಿಖರವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಬೇಕೆಂದರೆ, ವಿಯೆನ್ನಾದ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ‘ಫಂಕ್‌ಹೌಸ್’ ಸ್ಟುಡಿಯೋದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಯುವತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಯುವಕ ಅವರು ಬರೆದ ಪತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಓದುತ್ತಾ ಈ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ತರುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Ruth Beckermann (b. 1952, Vienna) studied journalism and art history in Vienna, Paris, and Tel Aviv before beginning her career as a militant leftist activist. Her 45-year filmography explores history and labor, starting with ARENA SQUATTED (1977). Key works include RETURN TO VIENNA (1983), THE PAPER BRIDGE (1987) on her Jewish heritage, and EAST OF WAR (1996). She also directed AMERICAN PASSAGES (2011) and THE DREAMED ONES (2016). Her Berlinale winner, MUTZENBACHER (2022), features men reading a 1906 novel. In an interview, she discussed her transition from activism to poetic cinema.
