What it’s about. 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.
Who’s in it. The Dreamed Ones stars Anja Plaschg as Ingeborg Bachmann and Laurence Rupp as Paul Celan.
How it landed. With an audience score of 8.4/10, The Dreamed Ones sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
