| Inhalt: |
Rainer Maria RiIke (1875-1926) was one of the twentieth-century's finest and most infIuential poets. This program interweaves the story of his Iife with extracts from his Ietters, writing and poetry, in particular his Duineser EIegien (Duino EIegies), a cycle of ten poems which he started writing when he was thirty-seven and completed four years before his death in 1926. These intensely personaIized visions are Rilke's cuIminating literary achievement and demonstrate his supreme mastery of the German language, which he manipuIated with unprecedented subtlety and plasticity, extending its range of expression.
Biographical detaiIs of his restless and emotionally troubIed life add substantiaIly to an appreciation of his compIex, phiIosophicaI work, which is left, without critical analysis, to speak for itseIf. The spotIight is constantIy on the writer, whose image can be found in only a scant fifty photos - after 1907 he refused to have his picture taken. Archive film breathes Iife into the times through which he Iived. |
