Thomas Bernhard – Eine Herausforderung. Monologe auf Mallorca

1981 · 50 min

A quiet, intense monologue that feels like eavesdropping on a brilliant, difficult mind.

Overview
Thomas Bernhard rarely engaged in on-camera interviews and conversations. However, he was extremely taken with the television films created by Krista Fleischmann and recognized – both confidently and with foresight – their lasting value for posterity: “I feel this portrait is an entirely successful document whose usefulness will grow.”
