Romy Schneider Tribute

From 20/11/2009 to 26/11/2009 at 23:59

Sissi

Propelled into stardom as a young ‘Sissi’, Romy Schneider totally reinvented herself when she made the move from Austria/Germany to France. Longing to cast off her teenage image and be accepted as a serious actor, she seized the chance to work with directors such as Luchino Visconti, Orson Welles, Henri-Georges Clouzot, and later on Claude Sautet, with whom she made five films.

The public often paid more attention to the turmoil in her private life, blurring the line between who she was and the characters she played: strong, resilient women, who were also vulnerable, affectionate and joyful, or sometimes despairing and weary. Her iconic smooth face expressed it all with just the subtlest change.

Georges Cluzot's Inferno

Romy Schneider’s striking reappearance on screen in Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno as well as a major exhibition at the Film Museum Berlin opening on 4 December, provide the occasion for this season at Ciné lumière that continues on into the 12^th Festival of German Films at the Curzon Soho from 27 November to 3 December.

A collaboration of Ciné lumière/Institut français, Goethe-Institut London, German Films and Club des Femmes.
