Marlene Dietrich - Her Own Song

Deutschland USA 2001/2002 Dokumentarfilm

Countless films have exhausted - or so it seems - the glamorous life-story of Marlene Dietrich. Books claim to have explored every detail of the actress and to have captured every nuance of the woman.

 

Yet the real story of what motivated the German-born star to exchange Hollywood for the European war front, remains largely unknown.
Marlene Dietrich - Her Own Song challenges the unexplored controversy of Marlene′s political mission and invites the audience to a roller-coaster-ride of political intrigue, artistic achievement and uncompromising emotions. The film is an accurate and unabridged account of a woman′s extraordinary life and her unprecedented mission, and is, without a doubt, the definitive document of the life and times of one of the most fascinating and least understood stars of the 20th century.
