A luxury hotel, a shabby flophouse, a market square, and behind the city gate: nothing but desert. Tennessee Williams' poetic, rarely performed dream piece about stranded characters at the end of the world.

Finally: Ödön von Horváth's wonderful, far too rarely performed, eerily beautiful crime comedy can be seen in a new production on a major Viennese stage after more than a quarter of a century. The film is directed by Anna Bergmann, known for her complex portraits of female roles.
