Hommage à Ingrid Caven

"The last German star was born in Saarbrücken: part Marlene Dietrich, part Greta Garbo," wrote the French journalist Guy Teisseire in 1974 in relation to Ingrid Caven's interpretation of the main part in Daniel Schmid's LA PALOMA. The queues in front of the Paris cinemas in which the film was shown 40 years ago were akin to those today when Ingrid Caven performs as a singer. As soon as a Paris concert of the "Callas of European cabaret" (Village Voice) is announced tickets sell out within two days.

From February 25 - 28 we are repeating some of the films that were presented earlier this month.
