Lubitsch's sparkling caper comedy at Cinema Quadrat

On September 13, 2026, film history meets elegant seduction at Cinema Quadrat in Mannheim: Ernst Lubitsch: Trouble in Paradise showcases the master of subtle punchlines in one of his most refined comedies. The evening immerses you in a world where charm, deceit, and desire dance so lightly that a small miracle of cinematic art is created.

When deception becomes elegance

Trouble in Paradise is considered a prime example of the famous Lubitsch Touch: allusions replace grand gestures, humor arises from understatement, and behind every casual movement lurks a second meaning. The 1932 film tells the story of Lily and Gaston, two cunning thieves who no longer just steal from each other but also become emotionally entangled. The result is a comedy that astonishes with its lightness and still feels modern in its precision.

A classic with fine rhythm and shimmering surface

Lubitsch works with what has fascinated film critics and audiences for decades: precisely crafted dialogues, smooth dramaturgy, a play with glances, doors, and social masks. In verifiable accompanying texts, the film is described as fast-paced, witty, and exemplary of Lubitsch's art of suggestion. This is exactly where its lasting radiance lies: the hidden is not explained but elegantly made visible.
