3 Days in Quiberon

"3 Days in Quiberon" (2018) is a German-Austrian biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Emily Atef shot the film entirely in black and white; Marie Bäumer plays Romy Schneider in a performance that took home the Silver Bear for Best Actress at Berlinale.

The year is 1981. Schneider has retreated to a spa hotel on the Brittany coast. Her old friend Hilde arrives to keep her company; two journalists from Stern magazine follow for what will be the star's last major interview. Over three days, the conversation goes further than Schneider intended — her son's death, the love affairs, the German film industry that manufactured her image and the French one she built a second life in. Charlie Hübner and Robert Gwisdek play the reporters trying to keep up.

Bäumer's resemblance to Schneider is precise enough that stills from the film circulate online as real photographs. Romy Schneider died eleven months after these interviews, at 43. Stream "3 Days in Quiberon" (2018) online on iFILM.
