Dying at StuKi: An award-winning cinematic experience that touches the soul

The Provincial Culture Studio Cinema invites you to Matthias Glasner's multi-award-winning family drama Dying. In an intimate theater atmosphere, a three-hour stage experience unfolds on the cinema screen: precise direction, compelling acting, and a finely composed dramaturgy.

Family cosmos between tragedy and quiet comedy

With pointed staging and chapter-like constructed dramaturgy, Dying tells the story of the fragile structure of the Lunies family. Corinna Harfouch, Lars Eidinger, and Lilith Stangenberg portray characters with nuanced performance temperatures caught between care, escape, and overwhelming pressure. The tone oscillates between black humor and emotional depth.

Scenery of feelings: light, music, pauses for breath

The lighting design models faces like solo instruments of an orchestra, while the music by Lorenz Dangel lays bare pulsating undercurrents. The camera opens theatrically conceived spatial situations: closeness like a close-up on stage, distance like a silent gaze from the fourth row – an intense stage experience in the cinema hall.

Award-winning art: Award-winning handwriting

Dying was honored with the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale and won the Golden Lola for Best Feature Film at the German Film Awards, along with acting and music awards. Press reviews praise the breadth of the narrative arc and the precise character guidance.

Audience reaction: Becoming still when images speak

A special theater atmosphere arises in the hall when the acoustics make every breath audible. Collective suspension is felt when conflicts culminate, and a liberating exhale occurs when Glasner's humor lightly breaks the weight.

Conclusion: An outstanding cinematic event with the power of a great theater evening. Those who appreciate family stories with depth will experience here acting artistry, directorial precision, and a production that resonates long after – definitely see it live at StuKi.
