Full Plot Details

Maria Schell: a glamorous name, a dream career, a tragic fate. Her career represents a fascinating chapter in German and international film history with compelling episodes and encounters with famous artist colleagues. Memories of global successes become faint: DIE RATTEN (THE RATS), WEISSE NÄCHTE (WHITE NIGHTS), DIE BRÜDER KARAMASOW (THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV). And then later the all too familiar pattern: The difficulties when a star used to success is forced to find a new role, when offers fail to materialize and the public's interest wanes; how does that often sought euphemism go: «with her [...] things have been somewhat quieter recently». Then the breakdown in her private life, calls for help, alarm signals. «The first death»: that's what Maria Schell calls her act of desperation from 1991. MY SISTER MARIA is meant to take inspiration from his famous Oscar-nominated documentary film MARLENE. A remarkable portrait of Marlene Dietrich, who allowed him to interview her with audio tape recordings but no cameras, not even photos; a fascinating effort, to still manage to depict a portrait of the artist in pictures. Maximilian Schell will work with feature film elements as well as documentary material and archive footage that are woven together like a collage. An important narrative level in the film is Maria Schell's life today, her sensitivities, the sphere of her life as she has gotten older, rich with references and associative potential reaching back to her rich life as an artist. Life on the alpine pasture in Kärnten, the familial clan, the interaction with her brother Maximilian: these offer the material for narrative and conflict that makes MY SISTER MARIA such an engaging cinema documentary.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertBrave, heartless, and exceedingly strange, a quasi-documentary in which the actor Maximilian Schell mercilessly violates the privacy of his older sister, Maria.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Phil HallFascinating documentary on the celebrated Austrian actress.
Boston Herald - 7/10 by Paul ShermanFeels less like a tribute and more like a chance for Maximilian to play the caring savior.
San Diego Metropolitan - 6/10 by Jean LowerisonIt's difficult to witness the disintegration of a personality; unfortunately, watching My Sister Maria inspires the question, 'Why was this film made?'
Washington Post - 6/10 by Desson ThomsonA heartfelt but eccentric, pseudo-documentary tribute to his sister Maria.
San Francisco Chronicle - 3/10 by G. Allen JohnsonIntrusive, excessively brooding and narcissistic.
User Review - 6/10 by Walter MSad view of a once strong and renowned woman who descends into the maelstrom of mental illness and infirmity.
