Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Documentary filmmaker Grant Gee (Meeting People Is Easy, Joy Division) shifts his focus from music to literature with this film examining the career and lasting influence of German author and academic WG Sebald, whose book The Rings of Saturn established him as one of the most respected writers in his generation. A variety of interviewees including Andrew Motion, Adam Phillips, Rick Moody, and Robert Macfarlane offer thought-provoking insight into Sebald's work.
