Title:
Romy - Porträt eines Gesichts
A portrait of the actress Romy Schneider, who died young in May 1982, which was made at the height of her career in the mid-sixties. When Syberberg spoke to Schneider, she was twenty-seven years old and had just completed her twenty-seventh film with Michel Piccoli, Schornstein Nr. 4. Following her marriage and a change of direction, Schneider successfully insisted on a number of substantial changes to Syberberg's docu-portrait, a move which prompted the director to remove his name as author. The original film had a length of ninety minutes. Director: Hans Jürgen Syberberg. Cast: Romy Schneider. Black & White. No subtitles. Notes: Bayern 3, 9/20/98. On same tape: "Wenn der weiße Flieder wieder blüht". Black&White. Country: West Germany. No Subtitles.
