An Evening About Longing, Comedy, and the Art of New Beginnings
With Chéri, I'm Coming! - The Invention of Desire, a spirited comedy will hit the screen at filmforum Duisburg on August 5, 2026, blending love, desire, and the courage to be open with a light touch. The evening promises a smart stage experience in the cinema, driven by precise dramaturgy, fine timing, and a story that captures its audience between laughter and quiet emotion.
A Comedy with a Sense for Nuance
Reem Kherici tells the story of a marriage that has become tired of its habits and therefore needs new life. The staging focuses on tempo, burlesque situations, and pointed dialogues, without trivializing the subject. This is precisely where its strength lies: the comedy remains light, yet it strikes a nervous core of modern relationships.
When Comedy Becomes a Question of Life
The critics highlight how skillfully the film works with escalating misunderstandings, surprising twists, and physical comedy. At the same time, space opens up for questions of trust, desire, and self-determination. The result is not mere slapstick, but a subtle game with desire and relationships that also convinces in the cultural context of current relationship narratives.
