Pabst : Masks and Solidarities

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.

Le destructeur by Georg Wilhelm Pabst

On a melodramatic subject, Pabst makes a film always tinged with expressionism. The lighting is extremely contrasted, giving the images an undeniable power. Critics salute the dream composition of Curd Jürgens, on the threshold of international glory.
