Hoewel haar familie arm is, wordt Hilde Knef toch toegelaten tot de toneelschool. Maar tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog gaat het alleen om overleven. Na filmsuccessen en mislukkingen, goede en foute mannen, verveling in Hollywood en een haat-liefde verhouding met het Duitse publiek, leert Hilde dat het om meer gaat dan ellebogenwerk in de showbizz.

Recensie (2)
Up to this point, I had no idea about the existence, let alone the acting and singing fame of Hildegard Knef, and I must admit that even my encounter with this autobiographical film did not convince me that it would be any sort of a loss or mistake. Not even the big eyes of the otherwise sympathetic Heike Makatsch worked on me, no matter how hard she tried. I remained indifferent to her character until the end, and I consider the film to be a mere filler of broadcasting time. Overall impression: 40%.

I have to say I was considering giving the film three stars. Mostly because I didn’t really know the actress Hildegard Knef until this movie, so I didn’t know what to expect. However, for a biopic made with precision it definitely deserves the extra star. I really liked Heike Makatsch’s take on her character. Add in the great atmosphere of the World War, then the post-war period and finally Hollywood. It would be foolish to rate it lower. This biopic is a properly made movie with all the good, but also bad, that this genre entails.
