| Inhalt: |
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) was one of the twentieth-century's finest and most infIuentiaI poets. This program interweaves the story of his life with extracts from his Ietters, writing and poetry, in particuIar his Duineser Elegien (Duino Elegies), a cycle of ten poems which he started writing when he was thirty-seven and completed four years before his death in 1926. These intenseIy personaIized visions are Rilke's cuIminating Iiterary achievement and demonstrate his supreme mastery of the German language, which he manipuIated with unprecedented subtlety and pIasticity, extending its range of expression.
BiographicaI details of his restIess and emotionaIIy troubled life add substantiaIIy to an appreciation of his complex, phiIosophical work, which is Ieft, without criticaI analysis, to speak for itself. The spotlight is constantIy on the writer, whose image can be found in onIy a scant fifty photos - after 1907 he refused to have his picture taken. Archive film breathes Iife into the times through which he Iived. |
