A stunning biopic that brings together brilliant names together: Margarethe von Trotta directs actress Vicky Krieps (Corsage) as Austrian poet and author Ingeborg Bachmann. world premiering at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival within the main competition, Ingeborg Bachmann – Journey into the Desert does not stay on the pages as she writes but follows its titular character through her passionate relationship with Swiss writer Max Frisch, and her arduous trip to Egypt from Berlin and Zurich. Margarethe von Trotta often focuses on stories of strong-willed women, such as Hanna Arendt and Rosa Luxembourg, who refuse to bow down to patriarchal norms, and Ingeborg Bachmann is no exception when she states as a liberated woman in a predominantly male literary world: ‘Fascism is the first element in a relation between a man and a woman.’
