Own Death Film based on Péter Nádas’ „Own Death” book
Dying is a tough job, especially when one has to finish urgently some galley proofs. Peter Nádas has evocated this brilliantly in his short novel One's own death. And it has now an evenly brilliant equivalent in the imagery Peter Forgács designed for it. Hardly ever since Marguerite Duras' India Song the collaboration between the literary and the cinematic have been so successful as in this Forgács film of the Nádas story.
