Die Dreigroschenoper
On the initiative of the magazine Panorama-cinéma and in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, we present a substantial cycle of around twenty screenings dedicated to the filmmaker Georg Wilhelm Pabst. In addition to his legendary silent films (Loulou, La rue sans joie) and some new restorations, we have also unearthed several rarely shown films from our collections which testify to the richness of an all-out filmography, accompanying the tribulations of his time, for better or for worse. This major cycle is accompanied by a book co-published with Panorama-cinema, with the support of the Goethe-Institut.
The alternative german version of L'opéra de Quat'sous
In London, Mackie, the king of the underworld, marries Polly, the daughter of the king of the beggars, against the latter's wishes. Shot in two versions (French and German), sumptuously photographed, with superb songs, this film opposed Pabst to Brecht, who criticized him for putting aside the initial intentions of the play.
