Rohstoff - Der Schriftsteller Jörg Fauser
On July 17, 1987, the German writer Jörg Fauser died the night after his forty-third birthday after being hit by a truck on the Autobahn near Munich. The writer Franz Dobler sets out in search of the material that characterizes Fauser's work: a world of losers, bar heroes and drug poets that shaped his novels, short stories and columns. He visits former companions of Fauser such as Carl Weissner and Jürgen Ploog, talks to his family and tries to fathom the influence of his work on modern German literature from beat and cut-up to pop. At the same time, however, the film refers to the vehement rejection that Fauser experienced from established literary critics, namely Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Walter Jens. —Wikipedia
