Romy Schneider. Wien – Berlin – Paris

The exhibition documents the eventful career of Romy Schneider, who by the late 1950s no longer wanted to be Sissi, and by the 1970s was a celebrated star of French cinema. A large number of unknown photographs of Romy Schneider, her film partners, and family from the 1950s and 1960s will be on display from the collections of the Deutsche Kinemathek. The exhibition will also present loans from private individuals and institutions from France and Austria.

An accompanying catalogue under the same title as the exhibition has been published by Henschel Verlag; edited by Daniela Sannwald and Peter Mänz. Focusing on selected exhibits, it traces the various stages of the actress' career – as a daughter, rebel, international star and a devastated women – while also examining the media's marketing and legendization of Romy Schneider.
