POMPEJI: UNTER DEN WOLKEN | CineMAKK Open Air

CineMAKK: POMPEII: UNDER THE CLOUDS

IT 2025 · 115 min · Original version with subtitles · Director: Gianfranco Rosi

A documentary portrait of the region around Naples and Mount Vesuvius, filmed in poetic black-and-white imagery. The past of this ancient world—buried by a devastating volcanic eruption—shimmers repeatedly through the present-day scenes. An inspiring exploration that views the region not merely as a place, but as a multifaceted tapestry of landscape and (life) history(ies).

Emma (Zendaya), a bookseller, and Charlie (Robert Pattinson), a museum director from London, seem like the perfect couple. But the closer their dream wedding gets, the more clearly the cracks appear, calling into question the very idea of love in our time. An unexpected revelation throws not only their wedding plans off track, but also everything they think they know about each other.

The event begins around 9:15 p.m., once it’s dark enough. Doors open and tickets are available at the Box Office starting at 8:00 p.m.

In case of rain, all ticket holders will be notified by email, and the event will take place at 9:30 p.m. at the Filmpalette (Lübecker Str. 15, 50668 Cologne).

Even if the event is sold out online, there are still tickets available only at the Box Office on site. Cash only.
