The German director portrays the tumultuous love affair the Austrian poet had with Swiss playwright Max Frisch.
Screening in Berlin’s main competition, the 80-year-old von Trotta’s 18th feature should easily appeal to local arthouses, especially those catering to older viewers. But neither Bachmann nor Frisch are household names outside of German-speaking territories, which may make this tasteful yet stuffy affair a tougher sell abroad.
The other, which is intercut with all the polished desert sequences, reveals the tulmultous five-year affair Bachmann had with Frisch — an affair that starts off charmingly but ends likefor high-society intellectuals, with the two going at it in various mouthwatering Swiss or Italian décors and the chicest of costumes .
Already a feted poet when they first meet, Bachmann falls into Frisch’s arms after a performance of one of his plays in Paris, wooed by his words and literary confidence. But after a very brief honeymoon, Frisch shows himself to be quite the bore: He appears to want nothing more than for Bachmann to settle down in his impeccably designed Zurich residence and sit around while he types up a storm of new material, his keys clacking so loudly that Bachmann can’t concentrate on her own work.
