Ernst Lubitsch

Villa Romana, Firenze

Die Puppe (The Doll) from 1919, an under-appreciated gem of German Expressionism, tells the story of Ossi, the daughter of the inventor Hilarius and her mechanical double. The cult film, belonging to Ernst Lubitsch's German period, is an urban fairytale that reproposes the theme of the double, the homunculus, a concept dear to the avant-garde artistic expressions of central europe in the early 20th century, reinterpreted with a particular anti-eroticising and feminist approach by Lubitsch. Ossi, an imitator of the "flapper", the "liberated" woman with a brisk manner and a "tomboy" attitude, rejects conventions and crafts a plan for her own liberation. The primary agent of the plot and sole creator of her own destiny, Ossi (the actress Ossi Oswalda), is the irresistible protagonist in her dual role of a girl and the doll. The extraordinary copy of the film obtained directly from the archive of Transit Film in Munich is completely uncut and has never been on display in the cinemas or on homevideo. Completely restored, it preserves the original colour tones and captions. Letizia Renzini is an audio/video artist and performer.
