It's sublime! Did you know that Hass also adapted, in 1986, James Hogg's Private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner? (There was a sold-out retrospective of his films here about 8 or 9 years ago: we felt very lucky!)

No I did not! Am so tired of adaptations of the same old Romantic-period texts again and again when there's such treasures - so this is a joy to know, thank you.

Hungarian-Austrian, Georg Trakl, was just 27 when he died in 1914. When a wealthy patron gave him 20,000 crowns so he focus on his writing, he vomited.
Again, what a poet.
