Stiller

By Zwingli's successful team Anne Walser and Stefan Haupt. The film adaptation of this important novel by Max Frisch is a voyage of discovery into the depths of human identity: perhaps we will get to know this Stiller after all, and hopefully a little bit about ourselves along the way... In 1954, the Swiss writer Max Frisch achieved his breakthrough as a novelist with this novel.

“I am not Stiller.” It is this very first sentence, with which the novel “Stiller” begins, that is difficult to get out of the reader's head. We learn both everything and nothing about the hero who will guide us through the rest of the story. Because the character makes it clear: he is not the Stiller we think he is, he has given himself a new name, a new history, a new nationality, a new identity.
