A poetic evening about Ingeborg Bachmann's language, fame, and inner struggles

On September 20, 2026, a dense cinematic experience unfolds at the Neuneinhalb Art and Culture House, bridging literature, memory, and stage presence. Ingeborg Bachmann – Someone I Once Was combines archival material, dramatic scenes, and Bachmann's texts into a compelling portrait of an author whose work still electrifies today. Sandra Hüller gives this approach a rare intensity. Directed by Regina Schilling, whose documentary access takes the literary greatness of Bachmann as seriously as her vulnerability. The film is part of Cinema is Program at the Neuneinhalb Art and Culture House in Bayreuth.

A film that transforms literature into presence

The staging approaches not dryly in a biographical manner, but with sensitivity and atmosphere. Original recordings, voices, texts, and reenacted scenes create a stage experience in cinematic format, making Bachmann's thinking accessible as a living language. Critics emphasize precisely this form: the courage not only to tell a life but to open a mental space in which art, fame, and crises intertwine inseparably.

The power of Sandra Hüller and direction

Sandra Hüller stands at the center of this filmic portrait like an actress on a quiet, highly concentrated stage. Her presence makes the interior visible: doubt, contradiction, the sharpness of thought. Regina Schilling relies on a dramaturgy of condensation that does not illustrate but suggests. The result is not a mere retelling but a precise cultural statement with a strong theatrical atmosphere. ([filmstarts.de](https://www.filmstarts.de/kritiken/1000042211.html?utm_source=openai))
