Peter Handke – Bin im Wald. Kann sein, dass ich mich verspäte...

Deutschland 2013-2016 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Documentary film about Peter Handke (*1942), one of the most famous contemporary Austrian writers. With works such as the play "Offending the Audience" (1966) and the novel "The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty" (1970) he became a star of the literary scene. However, he always seemed to avoid fame. Since 1966, he has had a lasting friendship and working relationship with filmmaker Wim Wenders. In the mid-1990s, his political texts and travelogues about the Balkan war and Serbia caused fierce controversy.

The film attempts to understand Peter Handke's view of the world and his artistic process. It explores the question of how he thinks and writes, and how he records his observations in literary form. Hovering over it all is the existentialist question from his "Chronicle of Current Events" (1971): "How should one live?"
