Press Conference at full lengthMax Zorn, a writer in his early sixties, travels to New York to launch his new book. His wife Clara is expecting him; she has been working on the book’s publication for the American publisher. Zorn’s very personal novel tells the story of a great but failed love affair. Max soon meets the woman who was the target of his affections at the time, German-born Rebecca, now a successful lawyer in New York. The pair return to Montauk for one winter weekend in this small coastal town at the end of Long Island where they were once so happy together. Rebecca is distant and hurt. Max tries to get close to her. They talk about their years apart, rekindling memories of their shared past. But is there a present or a future for the feelings they once had for each other? After his adaptation of ‘Homo Faber’, Volker Schlöndorff once again returns to the universe of his friend Max Frisch. Variations on the motifs of happiness and the pain that comes with remembering are transposed to the screen for this new, cinematic version.

Born in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1939, he moved to France in 1956 and studied in Paris. Having worked as assistant director to Louis Malle, Jean-Pierre Melville and Alain Resnais, his 1966 film Der junge Törless (Young Torless) marked the first international success for New German Cinema. Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum) won the 1979 Palme d'Or at Cannes and an Oscar®. From 1992 to 1997 he was head of Studio Babelsberg. He was most recently present at the Berlinale in 2014 with Diplomatie (Diplomacy) and his early work which had long been kept under wraps, Baal.
