Psychological thriller with a gripping effect at filmforum Duisburg
On June 24, 2026, Guru brings a nerve-wracking cinematic experience to the screen at filmforum Duisburg. The French psychological thriller by Yann Gozlan combines motivation, manipulation, and toxic positivity into an intense evening that resonates long after. The start is at 8:00 PM, and the runtime is 125 minutes. ([duisburglive.de](https://www.duisburglive.de/event/2026/06/24/guru-20260624/?cHash=15cb510c05eda1a84bcca92caa46918e))
A film that gets under your skin
At the center is the charismatic life coach Matt Vasseur, whose success story increasingly wobbles. What initially appears to be a brilliant formula for success gradually turns into a suffocating power game. Guru derives its tension from this: the mix of a brilliant surface and dark consequences.

filmforum Duisburg: Cinema culture with a special atmosphere
The filmforum is regarded as the first municipal cinema in Germany and is a fixed address for demanding film culture in Duisburg. The location at Dellplatz 16 offers an atmosphere reminiscent of a cinema palace from the 1950s, combined with modern media technology and a carefully curated program. This makes the evening not just cinematic, but also a unique event experience. ([duisburg.de](https://www.duisburg.de/tourismus/stadt_erleben/freizeitundaktiv/filmforum.php))
