Over the course of three days in 1970, June 5, 6, and 7, simply
sitting on a white bench in a Hamburg park, Thomas Bernhard
delivered a powerful monologue for Three Days (Drei Tage),
filmmaker Ferry Radax's commanding film portrait of the great
Austrian writer. Radax interwove the monologue with a variety of
metaphorically resonant visual techniques blacking out the screen
to total darkness, suggestive of the closing of the observing eye;
cuts to scenes of cameramen, lighting and recording equipment;
extreme camera distance and extreme closeup. Bernhard had not yet
written his autobiographical work Gathering Evidence, published
originally in five separate volumes between 1975 and 1982, and his
childhood remembrances were a revelation. This publication of
Bernhard's monologue and stills from Radax's artful film allows
this unique portrait of Bernhard to be savored in book form.
