Thomas Bernhard
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.”

Thomas Bernhard - Drei Tage
Ferry Radax
Thomas Bernhard
This portrait of the great Austrian writer combines a brilliant monologue delivered by Thomas Bernhard and the artful film work of Ferry Radax. The location chosen for three summer days is a park in Hamburg full of huge old trees. While sitting on a white bench, Bernhard talks about dark childhood memories, his youth, and his struggles with writing. A striking element is his high praise of obstacles as "material for the brain."
