Known for her disarming smile, but always haunted by some indefinable sadness, Romy Schneider was one of Europe’s most popular actresses. With a season featuring such highlights as this year’s Cannes Classics gem ‘L’enfer d’Henri-Georges Clouzot’ and a new print of the chilling ‘La Piscine’ (1969), we can remind ourselves of the extraordinary transformation of young Sissi into a critically acclaimed international star. Presented by German Films, the Ciné lumière at the Institut français, Club des Femmes and the Goethe-Institut London.
The season is part of the 12th Festival of German Films.
