Farewell To The Parents

by Astrid Johanna Ofner
Farewell to the Parents is based on Peter Weiss' 1960 story of the same name. Following Weiss' autobiographical account of his childhood and adolescence and his half-Jewish family's odyssey across Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, the film cinematographically explores a young man's fight for personal independence and his struggle for an artist's life as a painter and writer.
