as part of "Caspar David Friedrich - Cinematic Dialogues", in cooperation with the Casablanca Film Club
On the eve of his 85th birthday, of all days, the successful crime writer Harlan Thrombey dies unexpectedly. The police initially assume he committed suicide - but doubts soon arise. Discussions with the bereaved reveal a complex web of relationships involving envy, greed and other ill-will. Private detective Benoit Blanc, who is investigating at the same time, sets the case in motion ... Following the success of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' (2017), US director Rian Johnson felt the urge to make a classic crime thriller in the style of Agatha Christie. The response at the box office and in the press proved his unorthodox idea right. "It's simply great fun to follow the fast-paced plot." (Der Spiegel) There are also surprising references to Caspar David Friedrich. Admission: 3,- €
