In the end, there is no turning back for the regicide, as he himself realizes. After spilling so much blood, he can only continue to wade through it. Once you leave human civilization, you stay outside it. Crossing the border is irreversible, until you perish.

Can looking to the stars save humanity on a destroyed Earth? Can the savior of humanity still be a bad father? In Christopher Nolan's 2014 film epic "Interstellar", humanity searches for its future in the infinite expanse of space. The Earth is destroyed and can no longer produce the food that billions of people need to survive. But the search for new lands demands personal sacrifices. And it is rarely altruistic. When the former fighter pilot and adventurer Cooper sets out on an interstellar search for the future, he simultaneously makes a decision against his nine-year-old daughter, who has been waiting for him for decades. Nolan's film also tells us that time passes at different speeds, but the past can never be undone.

Kammerspiele

He haunts Tolstoy's text like a ghost: Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France and bearer of a very special project. Like a collective obsession, visitors to Moscow's salons follow every piece of news about the Corsican's private and public life. Admiration and rejection, fascination and fear characterize the Russian upper class, which fears more than just Bonaparte's troops. Because like an invasion, the self-proclaimed world conqueror also brings the values ​​of the French Revolution with him: freedom, equality, fraternity and the abolition of a class-based society in favor of a rule of law. Even in the Frenchman's devastating defeat, the Russian victors pay him tribute, although nothing will change for a long time in the rigid salons of the late Tsarist Empire.
