A dazzling power play at Obenkino: "The Richest Woman in the World"

On April 24, 2026, Obenkino in Cottbus transforms into a venue for grand cinema with a sharp focus on money, influence, and family abysses. Thierry Klifa's film tells the story of a woman whose wealth is not only luxury but also a point of attack, a projection surface, and a prison.

When luxury becomes a trapdoor

At the center is Marianne Farrère, played by Isabelle Huppert with that cool presence that even charges silence. The film unfolds a stage experience on the screen: precisely observed gestures, finely balanced dialogues, and a dramaturgy that makes the cracks visible behind the shine. The power of money appears here not as a triumph, but as a nervous web of dependencies.

Between irony, seduction, and family war

Thierry Klifa stages the story as a multi-layered satire with elegant timing. The encounter between Marianne and the photographer Pierre-Alain Fantin sets the plot in motion like an over-the-top chamber play. Joining in are the daughter, the butler, and an environment where loyalty, inheritance, and wounded egos intertwine. This creates a theatrical atmosphere on the screen that is equally amusing and unsettling.

A satire with a Shakespearean echo

Distribution of power, the greed for closeness, and the play with social status give the film a classical grandeur. Critics highlight the precise staging, controlled elegance, and biting humor. It is precisely this mix that makes the evening appealing to a cultural audience seeking not just entertainment but also intellectual friction. The result is a clever, sharp stage experience in film format that resonates long after.

What the audience can expect in Cottbus

Those visiting Obenkino will experience a compact cultural evening with strong acting signatures, pointed direction, and a story about the dark sides of wealth. An evening for viewers who appreciate fine dialogues, colorful characters, and the thrill of social tension. An experience not to be missed live.
