Where I Live

About This Movie

So, WHERE I LIVE is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into the world of Ilse Aichinger’s poetry. The film creates a really unique atmosphere; it feels like you’re drifting through her thoughts. There’s this stillness that’s almost meditative, interspersed with absurdity that makes you think. The pacing is quite slow, but in a good way—it invites reflection. The use of Super-8 footage by Aichinger herself adds a layer of authenticity and rawness that’s hard to find in more polished films. It’s interesting how the characters from her stories seem to inhabit the house like ghosts, their narratives folding in on themselves. It’s really a different kind of experience, something to savor.
