The subtly filmed adaptation of the novel “The Bookshop” by the British writer Penelope Fitzgerald celebrates the love of literature: Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) lost her husband early, but her shared love of books of all kinds won't let her go. She invests her entire fortune in realizing her dream of owning her own bookstore - of all places in sleepy, English Hardborough at the end of the 1950s, where the workers are skeptical about reading books and the aristocracy vigorously dictates what is and is not high culture. But despite all the resistance, she is successful and progressive, polarizing works such as Nabokov's Lolita or Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 quickly find favor with the villagers. In particular, Mr. Brundish (Bill Nighy), who has been living in seclusion for a long time, likes the new bookstore and its owner. But Florence Green's gentle cultural revolution does not go unnoticed: the long-established gray eminence Violet Gamart (Patricia Clarkson) fears a loss of control in her home village. She tries with all her might to put obstacles in Florence's way and the two women begin an argument about modernity and convention.
Carolin Schönle, who has been running our neighborhood bookstore “Der Divan” for years, will talk to us in a follow-up conversation about the difficult and the beautiful aspects of this job, what it is like to run a bookstore today and what people in Westend are reading.
