For German director Margarethe von Trotta, 'Ingeborg Bachmann - Journey into the Desert,' chronicling six years of the titular Austrian poet's life, is part of a dialogue with the past about how life for women has changed and how much they have achieved.
Director and screenwriter Margarethe von Trotta, cast members Vicky Krieps, Luna Wedler, Ingeborg Bachmann, Ronald Zehrfeld and Marc Limpach arrive for the screening of the movie 'Ingeborg Bachmann - Journey into the Desert' at the 73rd Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany, February 19, 2023.
"Bachmann's search for liberty and freedom - she said 'I cannot be subjugated by men' - what she was searching for, we have achieved now," said von Trotta of the poet and author, who rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. "She arrives in the desert very weak ... and in the end she says it's her salvation, I'm liberated," said von Trotta.
The film is in line with von Trotta's previous work, which focuses on strong female historical figures such as thinker Hannah Arendt and activist Rosa Luxemburg, cementing her status as one of the world's top feminist film-makers. Born in Berlin, she began working as an actor in the late 1960s before moving into directing, making her first solo debut in 1977.
