Christine

A new, color, and widescreen adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's famous play "Liebelei" (1895), which made Magda Schneider famous in the early 1930s and had a major influence on her daughter Romy in the late 1950s. It should have been quite different this time, but it was still just another costume spectacle from the idealized Austro-Hungarian Empire. There is even a scene with Emperor Franz Joseph I. However, Romy's meeting with Alain Delon turned the entire Papas Kino upside down. (06/02/2009)
