In Search of a Lost Childhood - The Cruel Fate of Bruno Schulz

February 27, 2012

It is said of Bruno Schulz (1892 – 1942) that he “was born as an Austrian, lived as a Pole and died as a Jew.”

In Search of a Lost Childhood - The Cruel Fate of Bruno Schulz

Often compared to Kafka, the writer and artist was almost forgotten despite a small but powerful body of work, which has now been published in more than 30 languages. Artists from all over the world are gathering in his birthplace Drohobycz, now in Ukraine, to perform some of the writer’s works on stage. And a German documentary filmmaker goes on tour with a meter-high tableau of some of Schulz’s last paintings. What is it about the imagination of Bruno Schulz that continues to captivate more and more people to this day, a man whose creativity was driven by a perpetual search for lost childhood? The documentary The Cruel Fate of Bruno Schulz explores this question and introduces the life and work of this eclectic artist.
