A Knock at the Door

A real-time, single-location psychological thriller with the tension of a ticking bomb. Lenny Bray was once a national treasure - now he’s just a man in a mansion, hiding from headlines and haunted by whispers. But when a young man shows up at his door late one night—barefoot, bleeding, and carrying a story Lenny hoped was buried—everything unravels. Across one harrowing night, Lenny and his wife Maggie must confront a stranger’s explosive accusations—and their own complicity in a past steeped in power, silence, and manipulation. Darkly comic and emotionally raw, this is a story about guilt, truth, and what happens when survivors come knocking.

So oder so ist das Leben – Hildegard Knef

The biography of Hildegard Knef – born in Ulm in 1925, died in Berlin in 2002 – reflects post-war and divided Germany. It also reflects the vitality, hypocrisy, and sensationalism of our society and the media that feeds it. The film features numerous original interviews with Knef, excerpts from feature films, concert recordings that testify to her stage presence, which is still incredible today, as well as TV reports from Berlin, New York, and elsewhere. In addition to her, friends and relatives, contemporary witnesses, colleagues, and journalists also have their say.

Reg' dich nicht auf, gibt nur Falten!

Let's be honest: what don't we get upset about day in, day out? The parking ticket on the windshield, the slow cashier at the supermarket checkout, traffic jams, delayed trains, and, of course, the weather. But every annoyance leaves its mark. When we are angry, the glabellar fold between our eyebrows digs deep into our skin. It's not called the frown line for nothing. It would make much more sense to be more relaxed and optimistic and simply laugh more. Laughter not only puts us in a more positive mood, it also improves our complexion. A smile on our face makes us more attractive to those around us. The opposite sex is drawn to us. And laughter is healthy. It exercises the lungs and gives the brain a shower of oxygen.

Carrousel

In one of the most polluted regions of France, a small industrial town by the Mediterranean Sea lives in striking contrast, where smokestacks loom and super tankers drift by, yet people swim, dance, and savour life. Amid the haze of factories and the hum of semi-trailers, a resilient community clings to joy and routine. At the edge of the freeway, Natalie’s food truck has stood for thirty years, serving as a symbol of perseverance and humanity. This visually rich, emotionally resonant film captures the paradox of living between industrial ruin and natural beauty, where survival means choosing not to look right at the smoke, but left, towards the sea.

A Lady Macbeth of the District of Mcensk

On the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s death, La Scala opens the Season with his masterpiece Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, based on the novella by Nikolai Leskov. After its premiere in St. Petersburg, the opera – which was intended to be the first part of a trilogy on women’s condition in Russia – enjoyed great success at home and abroad. Stalin attended a performance in Moscow in 1936; two days later, the famous denunciation titled “Chaos Instead of Music” appeared in Pravda, through which the regime blacklisted the opera and its composer. Years later, Shostakovich prepared a new version that was staged in Moscow in 1963 under the title Katerina Izmailova, after Superintendent Ghiringhelli had unsuccessfully tried to secure its premiere for La Scala. Today, the theatre presents the original 1934 version, conducted by M° Chailly and the debut of director Barkhatov.
