THE INNER LIFE OF MARTIN FROST (2007)
A film by Paul Auster
Internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster (‘New York Trilogy’,
‘The Book of Illusions’, ‘Man in the Dark’) explores the art of writing
in the darkly comical THE INNER LIFE OF MARTIN FROST.
Having completed his fourth novel, Martin Frost accepts the
invitation of friends to spend a few weeks in their vacant country
house. On his first morning there, he awakes to find the beautiful
and mysterious Claire Martin lying next to him. Intrigued by her
presence, Martin finds himself compelled to write a new story. But
as he progresses, he realises that his and Claire’s fate are bound
up in the tale he is telling.
Employing the wit and intelligence of his literary work, and featuring
excellent performances by David Thewlis (THE BOY IN THE
STRIPED PYJAMAS), Irène Jacob (THREE COLOURS: RED) and
Michael Imperioli (THE SOPRANOS), Auster’s third film is both an
intriguing mystery and a fascinating portrait of an artist and his
muse.
“A gorgeous and mysterious film. I watched it in amazement.”
Wim Wenders
“Martin Frost oozes with the austere sense of foreboding and metaphysical
pyrotechnics that make Auster's writing such a treat”
