Synopsis
Australian premiere
Stiller
Starring Albrecht Schuch (All Quiet on the Western Front), I'm Not Stiller is a psychological mystery about a man accused of being someone he insists he is not, exploring how identity is shaped by memory, relationships, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
Switzerland 1950s. While traveling by train, American man James Larkin White is arrested on his arrival at the Swiss border. He is suspected of being Anatol Stiller, a missing Swiss sculptor accused of being involved in the dubious political “Smyrnov affair”.
Everyone seems to think he is Stiller, even Stiller’s estranged wife Julika (Paula Beer). The examining magistrate, the public prosecutor and even White's public defender doubt his identity. But he rejects them, repeatedly insisting that he is not Stiller. He claims he is a victim of mistaken identity, but is he, or is he deliberately trying to assume a new identity?
Directed by Stefan Haupt and based on the classic novel by Swiss novelist Max Frisch, this gripping mystery is a journey into tangled relationships and asks us to question the foundations of truth and reality.
