Romy Schneider. Wien – Berlin – Paris
International star
LA PISCINE / THE SWIMMING POOL by Jacques Deray, which premiered in 1969, occurred at the beginning of Romy Schneider’s French career. In the same year the actress filmed LES CHOSES DE LA VIE / THE THINGS OF LIFE with Claude Sautet, who would become her most important director alongside Luchino Visconti. Romy Schneider moved back to Paris in 1970, where she worked with directors such as Claude Chabrol, Andrzej Zulawski, Robert Enrico and Pierre Granier-Deferre, becoming a paragon of a desirable, seductive woman. She separated from her husband Harry Meyen and brought their son David to Paris. By the middle of the 1970s, Romy Schneider was regarded as a French star. During the very first ”César” awards presentation in 1976, she received the best actress award for her role in L’IMPORTANT C’EST D’AIMER / THAT MOST IMPORTANT THING: LOVE. In 1979, she received this coveted film prize a second time for her role in UNE HISTOIRE SIMPLE / A SIMPLE STORY. In addition to contemporary seductresses, Romy Schneider also played victims of the National Socialist regime in films of the 1970s. She repeatedly pointed out that this was meant to be her coming to terms with the German past. She married Daniel Biasini in 1975 and gave birth to their daughter Sarah in 1977.
