Скачать или смотреть Empress of the Screen - The Sissi Film Trilogy

The “Sissi” film trilogy by Ernst Marischka remains a timeless Christmas classic. Every year, audiences revisit the story of Emperor Franz Joseph surprising his beloved Sissi with his proposal of marriage. These films chronicle the early life of Empress Elisabeth of the Habsburg Empire, offering a romanticized glimpse into her world. This documentary goes behind the scenes, exploring the making of these beloved movies. Central to their enduring success is Romy Schneider, who became a screen icon at just 16 years old. However, Schneider's life was deeply impacted by her association with the legendary empress. Public perception often blurred the lines between her real-life persona and the mythical figure she portrayed. Her youth was shaped—and constrained—by the demands of the films, as well as by the strict control of her mother, Magda Schneider, herself a renowned actress who played Elisabeth's mother in the trilogy.
