Ruzowitzky is an exceptionally gifted director who has shown himself to be capable of some magnificent filmmaking when the material suits his particular style – his work may not always be all that captivating, but he does often craft reliable works that satiate a specific desire. His version of Hesse’s morality tale is something to behold – a stunning socio-religious epic that traverses some of the most gorgeous locations in Western Europe, all the while conveying the story of two people who grew apart, but didn’t ever quite leave the other’s life entirely.
Oddly enough, it has rarely been the subject of interpretation in another medium, which makes the recent adaptation by Stefan Ruzowitzky all the more fascinating.
Hermann Hesse’s Narcissus and Goldmund (German: Narziss und Goldmund) is a classic of European literature, a moving story of two individuals who start out their lives in much the same way, before deviating onto wildly different paths, it has been the source of a lot of discussion since its original publication.
