Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jessica Schwarz spent months studying Romy's voice and mannerisms, but the film was controversial in Austria for its unflinching portrayal of Magda Schneider.
The real Romy Schneider publicly rejected her 'Sissi' image so violently that this film's recreation of those scenes felt like exorcism—Austrian viewers reportedly walked out.
