Max Frisch, Journal I-III poster

Released in 1981, Max Frisch, Journal I-III is a documentary film directed by Richard Dindo, running about 122 minutes.

What it’s about. A “filmic re-reading” of Max Frisch's novella Montauk (1974) and of excerpts from his published diaries. It is neither a biographical portrait of Frisch – who was one of the greatest 20th century Swiss writers – nor a filmed adaptation of the novel. Instead, Dindo returns to the locations the author describes in his texts, searching for traces of past events that may turn out to have been more imagined than real.
