Screenings
Now in her eighties, Ingrid Caven is known for many things: Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s longtime theater and screen collaborator (and onetime wife), a muse to Yves Saint Laurent, and a singular cabaret singer. She looms large in every shot of this mesmerizing concert film by Albert Serra (Afternoons of Solitude, NYFF62), which captures an entrancing one-night-only 2025 performance—also stage-directed by Serra—at the grand Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris. With her rich rupture of a voice, Caven warbles and quavers 16 autobiographical songs in German and French, accompanied by the electronic Catalan band Molforts. Serra’s immersive event, a rapture of colors and shadows, pays fittingly grandiose tribute to an emissary of a legendary cinematic era.
