Fassbinder in the Louvre
BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ showing from June 14 to 16
It is fifty years since the Élysée Treaty was signed by France and Germany and as part of the program of events accompanying the exhibition “De l’Allemagne, 1800-1939. De Friedrich à Beckmann” Fassbinder’s magnum opus is being shown in its full length under the Louvre pyramid. The screening will be introduced by Hanna Schygulla, who turns seventy this year, and is taking place shortly after the thirty-first anniversary of Fassbinder’s death and what would have been his sixty-eighth birthday. The exhibition, which runs until June 24, traces a trajectory that begins with the work of Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge during the Romantic period and extends up until the work of Paul Klee and finally that of Max Beckmann, the great figure painter and above all landscape artist. The work of these and other artists is being presented in the context of an intellectual confrontation with the writings of Goethe as universal genius. The long film weekend comprising parts 1 and 2 of BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ begins on Friday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m.
