Martin Suter is among the most popular Swiss writers and soon one of his more recent books will make its appearance as a movie. His books take a close look at the lives of wealthy professionals in Zurich and Switzerland. The characters are lawyers, top managers and bankers. Now his newest book, “Der letzte Weynfeldt”, is currently being made into a movie. The book tells the story of a wealthy art expert at an international auction house. The story takes place in Zurich. One scene from the movie was recently shot in the office I work in. It took the two actors and thirty staff one day to shoot a three minute excerpt of the movie. The office of our CEO, which has a wonderful view of the Lake of Zurich, was emptied and refurbished with art-deco furniture and modern paintings.
The Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger covered the movie-making in an article (in German): http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/kultur/fernsehen/MartinSuterVerfilmung-in-Zuerichs-edelsten-Wohnungen-und-Bueros/story/11893973
