The conventional German cinema of the 1950s was not conducive to the creation of international film stars, although the Austrian-born Romy Schneider was one of the rare exceptions. Thanks to SISSI (1955) and other films related to the genre of “Heimatfilme” ("homeland films") genre, she became more popular than she had been hoping for. As an actor, she was only able to free herself of her bubblegum image by going abroad. She began a new phase in her career in France in the sixties, but she took her psychological baggage with her.
She rarely spoke about her problems in public, but she did in 1981 in an interview with the “Stern” magazine reporter Michael Jürgs. In “3 Days in Quiberon” director Emily Atef has recreated the meeting using a top-notch cast and fictional embellishments.
