Prater Violet resembles episodes in Goodbye to Berlin and keeps up the same high level of excellence' - Edmund Wilson An impatient phone call from the temperamental Austrian director, Friedrich Bergmann, introduces a young Christopher Isherwood to the film industry. Isherwood's job is to rescue the script of an idiotic love story set in nineteenth-century Vienna, a film called Prater Violet . In the real Vienna of 1934 the Austrian Right crushes a socialist uprising. Bergmann is distraught and his prophecy of the coming war goes unheeded. As tensions on set grow, studio intrigues and competing egos threaten to derail the whole project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986681561376,"sku":"NEW0099561131","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71quQrHSdqL.jpg?v=1793010822","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/prater-violet-0099561131","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
