A nightclub waiter and a manicurist share the same room, she sleeps there by night and he by day. They’ve never met, but they can’t stand each other. Then one day, they meet by chance…

Quote:
Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht deals with a romantic couple who share the same apartment, she at night, he during the day, working the other time and not knowing each other except for the unpleasant things they do in each other’s absence. Naturally they meet also in real life, fall in love and even more complications ensue. The film is however most notable for his sly comments on the genre itself by interpolating scenes from a more typical sound operetta of this time and commenting ironically on its own plot. Some say this is a bit a case of eating a cake and still have it, but it’s a delightful film whose grace, camera movements and jokes couldn’t be really captured by screenshots.
Please be aware that this copy is missing a few minutes of sound, but that’s simply how the film survived, the missing dialogue was added as subtitles from the script.

The post Ludwig Berger – Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht AKA I by Day, You by Night (1932) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In ancient Bagdad, the young prince Ahmad (John Justin) is betrayed, deposed, and imprisoned by his vizier Jaffar (Conrad Veidt), an evil and calculating man who is also a master of the Black Arts. But Ahmad is saved from prison, and certain execution, by Abu (Sabu), a young thief who has made his way in life by stealing whatever he needs. Together they escape from Bagdad and make their way to the port city of Basra, where they hope to sign to sail with the renowned sailor Sinbad. But Ahmad chances to catch a glimpse of the daughter (June Duprez) of the Sultan (Miles Malleson, who also co-wrote the screenplay), and falls hopelessly in love with her. Sneaking into the garden where she spends most of her days, she meets him and the two are bound together forever in that moment, he the first man she has ever seen, and she the most beautiful woman he has ever beheld. But no sooner have they declared their love for each other then Jaffar arrives in Basra, seeking the princess’ hand in marriage — and to secure the blessing of her father, a fanatical collector of toys, he offers the aging Sultan a fantastic mechanical flying horse that bears him into the clouds at will. The sultan agrees to the marriage, but the princess flees the city. Abu and Ahmad are captured and before either can tell the sultan of their plight, Jaffar works his magic, leaving Ahmad blind and transforming Abu into a dog — conditions that will remain until he holds the princess in his arms.

Quote:
The latest film by Hartmut Bitomsky is, just like much of his early work, a original film essay about film and film history. Just as in earlier films, he makes inventive use of the potential offered by the medium video to analyse films.The history of the UFA is the story of a risky financial venture in the twenties and a propaganda instrument in the thirties. Bitomsky’s approach stands out because he involvesthis social and political context in investigating and dissecting films. In this way the UFA – the largest film production company in Germany – stands for Germany between the wars and hence for the traumatic period of the Third Reich. Bitomsky also takes advantage of the opportunity to question prevailing opinions among the writers of film history. He takes a fairly open-minded look and primarily seeks his answers in the film images themselves.Bitomsky shows many UFA films in a kind of video installation on several monitors and allows a scanning camera go from film to film. He also leafs through photo albums, looks at posters and brochures and talks to the odd expert. Bitomsky made two versions of this film; the French co-producer La Sept demanded a shorter version*.
