Plot
When Ingeborg Bachmann and Max Frisch meet for the first time in Paris in the summer of 1958, they are already international celebrities of the literary world. In the four years that follow, they dabble in great love and an open relationship between his hometown of Zurich and her adopted Rome.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two celebrated writers begin an open, turbulent love affair between Zurich and Rome. Von Trotta gives the literary romance a restrained, elegant treatment that favors emotional nuance over spectacle, best suited to viewers who enjoy biographical drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
