Master director Volker Schlöndorff's Return to Montauk, which competed for the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlinale is an adaptation of Max Frisch’s autobiographical long story Montauk that was also published here in Turkey. With this film, Schlöndorff returns to the world of this famous author exactly 26 years after Homo Faber. Bringing together a cast filled with favorite names from European cinema, Montauk is about a famous author’s reckoning with the past. 60 years-old author Max Zorn (Stellan Skarsgård) goes to New York during the publicity tours for his new book and meets with his wife Clara (Susanne Wolff). This very personal book is about a great and unfinished love. During the trip, Zorn runs into the very subject of his book, his ex-girlfriend Rebecca (Nina Hoss). As the two begin to reminisce about the past, they decide to return to Montauk, a small town they had travelled to before.
