The writer Elfriede Jelinek, winner of the Nobel Prize in 2004, disappeared from the public sphere shortly after the award as a response to her own country's hostility to the prize. Implicitly anti-capitalist (she militated in the Communist Party for decades), openly feminist and violently critical of Austria's Nazi past, Jelinek is a woman who enjoys scandal and provocation. Her satirical writing and liberated voice are unstoppable. Director Claudia Müller puts together a kaleidoscopic portrait that seeks to reflect in cinema the experimental joy of this literary prodigy.
Language Unleashed received the Critics' Prize at Munich Festival.
