N September of 1982, Oscar- winning actor and director Maximilian Schell (Julia, the Man in the Glass Booth) arrived in Paris for a series of on-camera interviews with Marlene Dietrich intended for a documentary film on the screen icon-s life and work. Despite having agreed to participate, the near-recluse Dietrich withdrew permission for her Judgment at Nuremburg co-star to film in her flat. Instead, in over 40 hours of audio-taped interviews, the 81 year-old screen legend provoked a battle royale of conversational mind games leading to unforgettably raw and truthful emotional revelations. Using Dietrich-s candid, bruising, infuriating, and occasionally touching off-camera musings on childhood, marriage, sex, love, collaborators, co-stars, life, death, and the Holocaust, Schell \"sets her words, like a score, to the stunning film images of the young Marlene.\" (Washington Post). The hypnotic final result- buoyed by self-reflexive making-of footage, and an impressionistic re-creation of the sunless Paris flat where star and filmmaker fenced, fought, and ultimately connected- is the \"Sunset Boulevard of documentaries\" (Washington Post).","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49201642340594,"sku":"KV6522DVD","price":37.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/1549493.jpg?v=1778830990","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/marlene-marlene-dvd-738329065225","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
