Cinema: "Cologne 75" in Ilanz

KÖLN 75 tells the rousing and true story of the rebellious 18-year-old Vera Brandes (Mala Emde), who confidently and passionately puts everything on the line to make her dream come true. Against the will of her conservative parents, she books the Cologne Opera House at her own risk to bring Keith Jarrett (John Magaro) to Cologne for a concert in January 1975. She doesn't know it yet, but this improvised hour at the piano, which threatens to fail until the end, is immortalized on record and considered by many to be one of the most popular works of art of the 20th century: Keith Jarrett's "The Köln Concert".

The record release "The Köln Concert" became the most successful solo jazz release of all time with over 4 million copies sold. Director and author Ido Fluk (THE TICKET) was inspired by the true events for KÖLN 75 and tells the incredible story behind it. The focus is on Vera Brandes, a young, determined and emancipated woman who asserts herself in a male-dominated society. Mala Emde (UND MORGEN DIE GANZE WELT) brilliantly embodies her as a passionate music lover and rebel who unwaveringly follows her path in the turbulent seventies. At her side you can see John Magaro (PAST LIVES, SEPTEMBER 5) as Keith Jarrett as well as the German stars Alexander Scheer, Ulrich Tukur, Jördis Triebel and Susanne Wolff.
