An amazing documentary about the life and times of one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature. The late WG Sebald.
I don't claim to hold copyright, but am uploading it because of the enormous amount of interest there is in the writings in this most gentleman, and his profound novels.

it's very encouraging to see artists like sebald receive enough attention to have a movie made about them. he was a genius and this film does him justice. the caretaker is kind of a genius too, the eerie beauty of his music really fits the vibe.

Watched twice and will watch again. The same as reading Sebald who demands multiple readings. All of his works are equally engaging. A terrific documentary and profoundly moving with a haunting soundtrack. Marvellous. Thank you for posting this.

Sebald is a writer I’ve been incredibly interested in recently. I am a huge fan of plenty of authors that employ the continuous paragraph as well as other themes and literary elements that he employs. Recently purchased Austerlitz, Rings, and The Emigrants because they all were incredibly cheap online. I’m extremely excited to read them as well as Vertigo.

The choice of, and performance by, Jonathan Pryce as Sebald's narrator's voice were magnificent. Would that there were an audio version of the entire text read by Mr. Pryce. Or perhaps a staged reading performance: Mr. Pryce seated, speaking, with Grant Gee's glorious out of focus, gray-scale imagery, floating above and behind.

Marvelous. I think the start of Franz Schuberts' 'Der Lindenbaum' from his cycle Winterreise (1827) fits perfectly, great choice of music.

@@that1toad64 thanks! I had read that The Caretaker wrote the score and that's why I added this comment. In my humble opinion - and without wanting to undermine The Caretaker's fine work - it's Franz Schubert's music which creates much of the special atmosphere of this haunting documentary. It's been skillfully re-used as part of what I would call a 'musical collage' by The Caretaker, but I wanted to spread the word about where those piano chords come from. They're from Franz. His full, amazing Winterreise cycle is also on KZfaq.

I remember picking up the Rings of Saturn for the first time and thinking ok what's this all about, some sort of arty travelogue. But after a few minutes of reading I felt an unfamiliar sense of apprehension. At some points with no particular trigger in the text it feels like the whole world comes crashing down without warning and for no reason.

I thought for a moment someone other than Gee had made a Sebald documentary. I guess this isn't titled 'Patience, After Sebald' because the uploader wants to avoid a copyright ban for as long as possible. (That Creative Commons licence is a highly dubious.) It's a bit sneaky and underhand, all the same, especially as it's available on a number of streaming services from which Gee would presumably get royalties.

. ...interesting to compare one German artist with another. I was thinking about what the artist Kiefer says about the difference between "feelings" and "intellect" in ART. I discovered the German artist Keifer many years ago and recently watched documentary on him, see below... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o62brLmG2rjQqWw.html I thought of the many common themes Kiefer and Sebald share BUT what a difference between their intellect/attitude/knowledge and also what a difference between their two art forms. What struck me with the Keifer documentary and Sebald's literature is the difference between ModernArt and Literature - to me ModernArt can be so much more sensationalist than literature . . .
