THE ALPHABET OF FEAR

(2014), 55 min., Netherlands

Director: John Albert Jansen
Producer: John Albert Jansen

The Rumanian-German poet Herta Muller (1953) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2009. Muller’s parents were German speaking Rumanians. Her father served in the German SS during World War II, and her mother was imprisoned in a Soviet work camp after the war. Her own studies and adult life were darkly overshadowed by the repression of the Ceausescu regime and the continuous harassment of the Securitate. The fears and traumas resulting from those experiences largely continue to dominate her life. The Alphabet of Fear is a quest for the roots of her work, the mortal fear and the thirst for life that pervade all her writings. It is a film about living in fear, with literature as a sole weapon.
