FIAF is honored to present a tribute to Romy Schneider, the grand actress, icon, and lover of renowned French actor Alain Delon.

Born in Austria, Schneider nevertheless became a darling of French cinema, first with her career-making performances in the Sissi films and later through her work with directors like Claude Chabrol, Henri-Georges Clouzot, and Costa-Gavras. The two-month long series, Empress of the Screen, commemorates the 30th anniversary of this mesmerizing actress’s tragic death.

CinémaTuesdays: Romy Schneider: Christine

12:30, 4 & 7:30pm

Pierre Gaspard-Huit, 1958 Color. 100 min.
With Alain Delon, Jean-Claude Brialy, Romy Schneider
In French with English subtitles

The story of Christine was already familiar to Schneider—her mother, Magda, played the titular character in the original 1932 film. Inheriting and wholly inhabiting the same role, Schneider shines in this costume drama about an opera singer smitten with a lieutenant (Delon), whose past casts a tragic shadow over their courtship.
