Inside

A childlike stage experience full of wit, warmth, and wonderful chaos

The Mucklas take the stage of imagination at filmforum Duisburg as little masters of disorder. The family film from 2022 tells the backstory of the characters from the Pettersson and Findus world and is rated for children aged 0 and above; the screening lasts 81 minutes.

When disorder becomes poetry

At the center is an appealing contrast: order against chaos, possession against freedom, comfort against adventure. The Mucklas love the seemingly imperfect, and it is from this that the film draws its charm. The story comes from the universe of Sven Nordqvist and was directed by Ali Samadi Ahadi along with Markus Dietrich; various reviews describe the tone as episodic, playful, and family-friendly, even if the plot does not consistently maintain the same vigor.

Direction, rhythm, and character magic

The film relies on movement, small comedic moments, and lovingly crafted characters that oscillate between slapstick and adventure. Particularly for a young audience, this mix creates a unique theatrical atmosphere on screen: light, colorful, accessible, and with that friendly narrative tone that has been drawing families into the world of Pettersson and Findus for years. The episodic structure mentioned in professional critiques provides many small scenes instead of a single grand narrative.

The filmforum as a harmonious venue

The filmforum Duisburg is regarded as a municipal cinema with a unique profile: two cinemas, a refined program, and a historic building shape the atmosphere at Dellplatz. According to the city of Duisburg, over 100,000 people visit the venue each year; the cinema sees itself as a place for film culture beyond the mainstream. Access is provided by the Steinsche Gasse and Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz stops, and there are numerous parking spaces available around the filmforum.
