Susanne Ayoub: \u201eAntschel \u2013 A Film Essay about Paul Celan on his 100th<\/sup> Birthday\u201c (ORF -Austrian Broadcasting Corporation)
\n<\/strong>Written in a spiral notebook with a fountain pen: \u201cThis one thing remained attainable, nearby, and unlost amidst all that was lost: language.\u201d Then comes a photograph of a shop window sullied with anti-Semitic diatribes. This is one of the more concrete images in Susanne Ayoub\u2019s film \u201cAntschel,\u201d which is a personal film in two respects. On the one hand, there are the recurring lines from various texts by Paul Celan, which a hand writes on paper, followed by associative scenes: beech forests, the doorways and streets of Czernowitz and Sadagora, views of landscapes and cityscapes. These scenes are interpretations of Celan\u2019s poetic images, visualizations in which Susanne Ayoub\u2019s own views of the poet and his work are palpable. And then there is the second personal level that Celan\u2019s longtime friend 93-year-old Klaus Demus brings to the film by acting as a guide. Whatever concreteness is lacking in Susanne Ayoub\u2019s filmic images is made up for by Demus\u2019s accounts: sitting in his apartment, he tells of his reverence for his friend, whose outsized emotional vulnerability led to a breach between the two men. He tells of Celan\u2019s paranoia and his suicide in the Seine. Demus shows photographs, letters, and books, and at one point he says, \u201cIf you ask what it really means, you haven\u2019t understood the poetry.\u201d This is a pivotal statement that can be applied to Ayoub\u2019s film itself. Whoever wants to know the precise meaning of these images, which show much but explain nothing, might feel put off. \u201cAntschel\u201d is an artistic documentary in which the filmmaker\u2019s formal rigor places demands on viewers while also allowing them time and space to absorb the effects of Celan\u2019s language and Klaus Demus\u2019s stories. The result is a tightly composed, poetic film that leaves many questions open while inviting us as viewers to read Celan again, to rediscover him for ourselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
