When Family Dinner Tastes of Truth: Lies About My Mother at the filmforum Duisburg

A sentence, sharp as a grumpy kitchen comment, sets this family story in motion: Cornelia is too fat, says Werner. And Werner should know – after all, he is her husband. On Monday, October 12, 2026, the filmforum Duisburg will show the tragicomic adaptation Lies About My Mother at 6:15 PM.

Between Provincial Idyllic and Bitter Punchline

In the West German province of the 1980s, the mother’s body weight determines the family’s everyday life. Werner makes Cornelia’s figure the scapegoat for his professional setbacks, his lack of social advancement, and the missing recognition in the village. At first, this sounds like an absurd family farce, but it develops into an intense drama about control, shame, and the power of hurtful words.

Tragicomedy with Precise Timing

Director Aron Lehmann combines gentle comedy with emotional impact. The punchlines arise not from swift gags but from painfully familiar situations, awkward glances, and dialogues that make the audience chuckle and then briefly choke. The timing of the production thrives on this switch: a small laugh opens the door, behind which awaits the uncomfortable truth.

Rosalie Thomass Between Strength and Vulnerability

Rosalie Thomass takes on the role of Cornelia and also wrote the screenplay. Next to her, Golo Euler plays Werner and Elise Lindner plays daughter Ela. Johanna Gastdorf, Juliane Köhler, Anneke Kim Sarnau, and Rainer Laupichler complete the ensemble. The story is based on Daniela Dröschers autobiographical best-selling novel.

A Film That Keeps Working After the Credits

Lies About My Mother is not a classic comedy evening with constant fire and stage microphone. The humor works as a precise observation: dry, tragicomic, and sometimes so uncomfortably spot-on that the laughter gets stuck in one’s throat. This creates the special comedy atmosphere of the film – a laughter experience with reverberation rather than a quick gag to wipe away.

Conclusion: An Unusual Movie Event for Curious Film Fans

Those who appreciate socially relevant cinema, strong acting, and tragicomic stories with dark humor will experience a film evening with conversation material at the filmforum Duisburg. The screening begins on October 12, 2026, at 6:15 PM. Tickets cost 7.90 euros on Monday as cinema day. So: take a seat, secure popcorn, and watch how a family lie slowly loses its mask.
