Our take

A luminous presence on both stage and screen, the legendary Maria Schell spent the final years of her life as a recluse. Crafted with love and melancholy, Maximilian Schell’s tribute to his sister peers through the haze of stardom, capturing the sacrifices that exist behind the blinding limelight.
