With the motto "Goethe's Eros - In tausend Formen magst du dich verstecken" (Goethe's Eros - You May Hide in a Thousand Forms), this year's Goethe Festival takes up a theme that decisively shaped the poet's life and work. Our accompanying film program brings together four very different film adaptations of Goethe's "The Elective Affinities," a novel about the geometry of love that has repeatedly provided material for cinematic adaptations since the 1970s.
