Raw Material - The Writer Jörg Fauser is a German documentary by Christoph Rüter from 2006 about the author Jörg Fauser .
action
On July 17, 1987, the German writer Jörg Fauser died the night after his forty-third birthday after he was hit by a truck on the autobahn near Munich. The writer Franz Dobler goes in search of the material that characterizes Fauser's work: a world of losers, pub heroes and drug poets that shaped his novels, stories and columns. He visits former companions of Fauser such as Carl Weissner and Jürgen Ploog , speaks to his family and tries to fathom the influence of his work on modern German literature from beat , cut-up to pop . At the same time, however, the film refers to the vehement rejection that Fauser experienced from the established literary criticism, namely Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Walter Jens .
criticism
“Rüter opens the film excellently with a piercingly sharp emptiness: Long nothing but the stretch of motorway on the Munich periphery, where Fauser was run over by a truck on the night after his 43rd birthday. It's a great feeling, Requiem on asphalt. Of course, ›raw material‹, the film, is a work of longing. "
“The time is ripe to take another look at the old FRG through Fauser's eyes, and to ask yourself,“ What kind of a strange country was that, ”says film author Christoph Rüter. He is right."
