In Werner Schroeter's very free interpretation of Ingeborg Bachmann's novel "Malina" (1971), the main character has no name, but appears in four reflections, two of them are the male main characters Malina and Ivan. Moreover, Schroeder used even two light-doubles for a famous mirror scene in which the female character appears in a "chiastic" and thus non-Aristotelian relation. (imdb)

Werner Schroeter's film was full of pointless scenes and characters were talking things not much related to each other. A protagonist was a novelist who cannot stay still and has kind of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The film did not go on as a common story telling movie, instead it traveled more deeper into one's mind. I did not find it successful in any sense. I'm not aware of the original text though.

idk the novel and I had really no idea what was going on in this on any level (so my score is more-or-less meaningless). Operatic with very memorable choreography and wonderful editing (by Fassbinder regular Juliane Lorenz) however. Carrière's performance is remarkable and Ms. Huppert is of course the best ever.

Estreava há 30 anos na Alemanha. Jelinek foi profundamente influenciada em sua literatura pelo trabalho da Bachmann e fez o roteiro de uma forma brilhante. De todos os grandes pontos vistos na tela o que mais me impressionou foi o leitmotiv do fogo, a chama é uma constante porque foi ela que motivou a morte de Bachmann, que por sua vez já tinha feito um livro profundamente autobiográfico sobre a invisibilidade feminina e o peso austríaco de ter Hitler como contemporâneo/conterrâneo.
