A wedding evening that truly gets under your skin

The Drama – Starting Over Again presents a clever yet disturbingly funny relationship drama on screen at filmforum Duisburg on May 25, 2026. Just before the wedding, Emma and Charlie engage in a polite conversation that suddenly turns revealing. From what seems like a perfect celebration emerges a nervous stage experience full of tensions, revelations, and bitter truths.

When the facade starts to crack

The story begins where romance usually shines: during the engagement, the dinner, the final preparations. However, director Kristoffer Borgli transforms this familiar situation into a psychological chamber play about self-image, shame, and the fragile architecture of modern love. The production employs jumps, flashbacks, and a deliberately clinical dramaturgy that makes every slight gesture seem suspicious.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in the spotlight

The central figures are Emma and Charlie, portrayed by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Their characters carry the entire fragility of a relationship that must reorganize itself in the public eye. According to critics, the film excels particularly where it subverts the romantic comedy and shows cringe not as a gag but as a state of insecurity. The performance derives its strength from nervousness, pace, and a precise acting craft that makes every movement legible.

A filmforum evening with a special theater atmosphere

filmforum Duisburg provides the perfect setting for this evening: a traditional venue of film culture that has stood for demanding programs for decades. The atmosphere in the building, the central location at Dellplatz, and the clear program dramaturgy enhance the impression of a carefully curated cultural evening. Those who take a seat here do not experience a trivial cinematic pleasure but a concentrated audience event with genuine resonance.

Why the visit is worthwhile

This drama draws attention to where love stories typically shy away: into the awkward, uncomfortable, and surprisingly human interstices. It is precisely there that the film unfolds its appeal. Anyone longing for an intelligent, pointed, and emotionally charged performance should mark this date in their calendar and experience the stage spectacle on screen live.
