Despite their focus on death and suicide, Etgar Keret\’s stories keep finding new life after publication — from foreign reprints to re-imaginings as graphic novels and films. The latest of those incarnations, the award-winning independent film, \”Wristcutters: A Love Story,\” has finally landed U.S. distribution with After Dark Films\’s sister distributor, Autonomous Films, and is in limited release — opening today in Los Angeles. The debut feature film from Los Angeles-based Croatian director Goran Dukic is based on Keret\’s 1998 short story, \”Kneller\’s Happy Campers,\” a surrealist road story following three suicide victims searching limbo for a lost love.
