HAUS FÜR POESIE

This film is a careful and poetic portrait of the great English lyricist and translator, who died on June 7th, 2007 (shortly after the premiere of the film at the Goethe Institute in London). Out of respect to Hamburger and his wife Anne Beresford, lyricist and actress, Frank Wierke decided to shoot this film only by himself, without a crew, with minimal equipment, without artificial lighting or a tripod, and without any “mise en scene” or interviews. This considerate strategy was an attempt not to disturb the poet during his crucial daily rhythm at home in his house and garden in Middleton, Suffolk.
