László Krasznahorkai is the 'contemporary master of the apocalypse' as Susan Sontag described him. We discussed what I could show of him if I were to make a portrait film. Whatever I asked, his answer was no. That is how this film has begun.
László Krasznahorkai was born on 5 January 1954, is a Hungarian novelist and screenwriter known for difficult and demanding novels, often labeled postmodern, with dystopian and melancholic themes. Several of his works, notably his novels Satantango (Sátántangó, 1985) and The Melancholy of Resistance (Az ellenállás melankóliája, 1989), have been turned into feature films by Hungarian film director Béla Tarr.
