21.30 NOW, VOYAGER
US 1942. Director: Irving Rapper. With Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, John Loder, Bonita Granville. 117 min., OV
“The untold want, by life and land ne’er granted / Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find ...” With these lines by Walt Whitman as a compass, Charlotte Vale, a spinsterly heiress from a Boston family, embarks on a journey by ship to South America. At the same time it's a journey to herself: Tyrannised by her mother and more or less cured by her psychiatrist, she falls in love with a fetching architect on board. Now, Voyager is a pure melodrama – the film in which Paul Henreid lights both his and Bette Davis's cigarette at once.

21.30 SCHACHNOVELLE
BRD 1960. Director: Gerd Oswald. With Curd Jürgens, Claire Bloom, Hansjörg Felmy, Mario Adorf, Rudolf Forster, Dorothea Wieck. 103 min. GV
The decisive game takes place on a steamboat between New York and Buenos Aires: A lawyer from Vienna, prematurely aged in endless Gestapo-imprisonment has in the back-breaking solitude of his cell learned how to play chess against himself. He almost manages to checkmate the reigning world champion. After Stefan Zweig's posthumously published short novel. Written by Herbert Reinecker, who during the war was correspondent for the Waffen-SS. A film as quirky as thrilling, nicely close to madness.

21.30 DER ROTE RAUSCH
BRD 1962. Director: Wolfgang Schleif. With Klaus Kinski, Brigitte Grothum, Sieghardt Rupp, Dieter Borsche. 88 min. GV
An expressive, piece of German expoitation cinema believed lost for 40 years, with the still very young Klaus Kinski in his first leading part: as a psychopath in Pannonia who waylays unsuspecting women in the reed. Shrewdly dramatic clou: inmate no. 327, having escaped from an asylum, doesn't now about his deeds – until he sees a wanted poster with his face on it: He, an insane serial killer? Well, who else!
