Schräge Welten: "Schatten - Die Nacht der Erkenntnis" - Stummfilm mit Live-Musik
PICK OF THE DAY
You cannot miss this event.
In the organizer's words:
From October '25 to January '26, a total of six expressionist silent films with live music will be shown in the "Weird Worlds" series - a cooperation between Cinema Quadrat and Kunsthalle Mannheim to accompany the exhibition "Kirchner, Lehmbruck, Nolde. Stories of Expressionism in Mannheim".
SHADOW - THE NIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE
DEU 1923. D: Arthur Robison. D: Fritz Kortner, Ruth Weyher, Gustav von Wangenheim, Alexander Granach. 85 min. silent movie with live music. FSK: 0
A husband is convinced of his wife's infidelity. At a dinner party, he observes silhouettes behind a curtain: his wife, strange hands touching her... But the shadows are deceptive, his wife has not been touched by anyone. A showman present notices the man's jealous delusion and wants to bring the truth to light: He hypnotizes the evening party and performs a shadow play in which the guests are shown their erotic desires and fears.
The silent film originally had no intertitles at all (they were only added a year later); it is an entirely visual experience in which the psychological inner worlds of the film characters are turned inside out: "This film masterfully demonstrates the dramaturgical use of light, shadow and mirrors developed to perfection in romantic and expressionist German silent film." (Die Zeit, 1973)
