Marlene
Live-Cinema
A romantic entanglement hurtling full speed toward an inevitable tragedy, The Woman One Longs For is imbued with the presence of Marlene Dietrich—a femme fatale who sets her sights on a hapless man, played by Uno Henning.
Performed by the contemporary ensemble United Instruments of Lucilin, the score by composer and vibraphonist Pascal Schumacher carefully underscores the film’s moments of dramatic tension. The numerous solo passages, blending jazzy elements with minimalism, bring unexpected sonorities to this striking work—far removed from the traditional sound of 1920s silent cinema.
