A sparkling drama about power, loneliness, and the price of desire

With The Richest Woman in the World, the filmforum Duisburg on April 28, 2026, at 18:00 hours pulls you into a world of luxury, seduction, and inner emptiness. The French original version with German subtitles offers an intense stage experience in cinematic format: precise, elegant, and full of psychological tension.

When wealth becomes a trap

The story revolves around Marianne Farrère, a 60-year-old woman with immeasurable wealth and a loneliness that remains palpable behind the shiny facade. Thierry Klifa tells the drama with a sharp eye for social abysses and focuses on power dynamics, projection, and dependency. What appears to be a glamorous surface develops into a finely balanced study of desire and control.

Isabelle Huppert as the magnetic protagonist

At the center is Isabelle Huppert, whose performance between cool elegance and vulnerable presence carries the production. Alongside her appears Laurent Lafitte as a seductive, elusive character who adds an extra layer of irony and danger to the unfolding events. It is precisely this mix of glamour, distance, and cutting precision that promises a strong audience reaction.

Dramaturgy with height of fall

Klifa presents the film as a dazzling social drama that indirectly resonates a real scandal without taking on the tone of a mere exposé. The dramaturgy thrives on a change of wit, psychological intensification, and the slow unveiling of a lifestyle where money can do almost everything and yet nothing heals. This is exactly where the pull of this performance lies: the production transforms a privilege into an existential question.

The filmforum as a place of concentrated theatrical atmosphere

The filmforum at Dellplatz provides the fitting framework: a place where tranquility, intimacy, and cinematic precision converge. The venue is well-connected, the route clearly marked, and parking in the vicinity is available free of charge from 20:00 hours. This creates an evening that not only tells but also carries an atmosphere.

Conclusion

The Richest Woman in the World promises an evening between glamour and ruthlessness, between social reflection and intimate emotional study. Those who love strong acting, intelligent dramaturgy, and subtle psychological tension should experience this cinematic event live.
