EARLY CINEMA
LUBITSCH IN BERLIN
Before he set the Hollywood standard for sophisticated comedy, Ernst
Lubitsch was equally innovative for German cinema in the late 1910s
and early 1920s. With a remarkable series of films, ranging from outrageous and anarchic comedies to groundbreaking historical dramas, Lubitsch established himself as one of Germany’s most vital filmmakers.

(DECEPTION)
A groundbreaking historical epic
from legendary director Ernst Lubitsch. The tragic story of the second
wife of England’s Henry VIII is given
first-class treatment, complete with
opulent sets, beautiful cinematography, and a bravura performance by
Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh, The
Blue Angel) as Henry.
THE WILDCAT
A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured
by a group of mountain bandits,
thus setting in motion a madcap
farce that is Lubitsch at his most
unrestrained. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire
of military life from one of the great
comedy filmmakers.
