Stephan Graf v. Bothmer: The Farmer’s Wife with JENS WAWRCZECK and the Berlin Live Film Music Orchestra [Kristoff Becker (electric cello), Stephan v. Bothmer (church organ), Florian Goltz (percussion)]



A cheerful, almost romantic comedy that captures the rural charm of England. Hitchcock proves his talent for humorous and sensitive staging here.


Introduction and reading with Jens Wawrczeck, the voice of Peter Shaw in "The Three Investigators". Jens will read from his Hitchcock book and from the novels and share his profound knowledge of Hitchcock with us. Afterwards we will show the film with the new live film music by Stephan v. Bothmer.


In The Farmer's Wife, Hitchcock proves his versatility by directing a charming romantic comedy. The story is about a widower looking for a new wife. With the help of his faithful housekeeper, he visits various women, only to discover that the right choice was right in front of him all along. The humorous mishaps and charming dialogue make the film a light, entertaining work.


Although the film does not feature typical Hitchcock elements such as suspense or danger, it still shows his talent for precise timing and characterization. The Farmer's Wife underlines the range of his work and offers a light-hearted contrast to his more somber works.


With his spectacular silent film concerts, Stephan Graf v. Bothmer fills theaters and concert halls on five continents. He has performed at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, as well as in Berlin at the Admiralspalast, the Wintergarten Varieté and the Berlin Cathedral, as well as at the Rock-Pop Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet Shop Boys.


Bothmer's compositions are characterized by an irrepressible joy of playing and virtuosity that combines echoes of Chopin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and electronic music in a unique way.
