M-cine spielt „Die Puppe“ Stummfilm neu vertont

In the organizer's words:

M-cine plays "The Doll"
Silent movie set to new music

Laughing muscle training guaranteed!
M-cine does not fall back on existing silent film compositions, but looks at the films of its choice with today's perspective and explores their language. Is it conventional or experimental? Loud or quiet? M-cine develops the musical material for the film from these questions. Improvised and fully composed elements intertwine. This makes every silent movie evening unique and full of the joy of experimentation.
A comedy of mistaken identity by Ernst Lubitsch completes the series on 07.12.2025 at 6 pm.
In his silent film "The Doll", the director pokes fun at common gender roles with the driest word and visual wit. Lancelot has an unusual problem: forty virgins are chasing him all over the village! His rich hereditary uncle, Baron de Chanterelle, has ordered Lancelot to finally find himself a wife so that the noble family does not die out. But Lancelot refuses to marry. The solution? A puppet wedding!
Who sells lifelike dolls complete with operating instructions, how Lancelot marries his doll and how much life of its own such a relationship can ultimately tolerate: the audience follows all this in a furious tour de force of hilarious ideas.
But that's not all - nostalgia for home comes free of charge. Each evening opens with a very special short film from Cologne's early film history. Naturally with a film score specially composed by M-cine. Something chocolatey is of course also included...
