Polish director Agnieszka Holland has revealed details about her next feature film project, a biographical film about Marlene Dietrich, “Berlinweh – Yearning for a Home.”
The film is being produced by the same team that backed Holland’s “Franz,” Berlin-based production company X Filme Creative Pool, the Czech company Marlene Film Production and British-Irish producer Mike Downey. It is based on a screenplay by Ingo Rasper.
The film follows Dietrich across four decisive days in four different decades, portraying her in shifting cultural and political contexts: Paris in 1937, Bergen-Belsen in 1945, Tel Aviv in 1960, and once again Paris in 1983.
