3 Tage in Quiberon (2018) Reviews
Beautiful, painful, simply a masterpiece
By the time I write this text, I've already seen the film six times. Yes, all voluntarily. I just can't get enough. 3 days in Quiberon is a journey I want to go on over and over again. I forget everything during these two hours. I suffer with Romy. I feel her fear, her courage, her defiance, I am troubled, anxious, barefaced, tipsy, lost, found, trapped and set free. I live through all this in my red velveted cinema chair in the dimmed theatre. Even if Romy Schneider is always surrounded by other people, the loneliness of this woman breaks my heart. I get angry hearing the arrogant journalist asking shameless questions. I become desperate feeling Hilde's urge to protect her friend and the pain caused by rejection. I would like to lean my head against the shoulder of Robert Lebeck, hide in his strong arms, the small camera in his big hands. I hear the click it makes when he takes a picture, the sea, the music, the silence... This is how I find myself sitting in my red cinema chair and every time, this movie takes it out of me. 3 days in Quiberon is a close-up view that comes this close it nearly hurts. But as soon as on screen Romy smiles, I'm infected with happiness. Her happiness is so pure, just like her calamity. But in between seconds, a moment, a glimpse, there's hope. And that also hurts, somehow, a fugitive prick in my stomach. During the last scenes, I'm overwhelmed by my emotions. I can barely take to leave this woman alone with her sad destiny. Neither does Romy Schneider leave me, she follows me around in my thoughts for some more days... This year she'd have celebrated her 80th birthday. Special fact about the premiere of a film is that the audience can meet the cast & crew. And you know that you're 'fan nr. 1' when the director recognizes you from the other premiere you where attending in another city just one week ago. I'm such a lucky girl I could meet Emily Atef again and tell her by person how I feel about her movie. It's such a masterpiece and I am so thankful they made it. Emily Atef is a woman I admire and not only is she incredibly talented, she's also a very gentle, interested and humble person. If a director puts so much passion and empathy into a film like she does, the result can only be a movie that is incredibly touching from the very first. 3 days in Quiberon definitely is such a movie. Followed the premiere at Düsseldorf, this time also Marie Bäumer, who plays Romy Schneider, came. Yes, she looks quite alike the famous Austrian actress, but first of all, it's her role in this film. Like Romy Schneider wasn't Sissi, Marie Bäumer isn't Romy Schneider. But that's a fact I completely forget during these 155 minutes. And that pretty much says it all. It's not about what you see on the outside, on screen she might really look like Romy, but it's more about what you feel inside when seeing her play. It takes some things for an actress to make the spectators feel something, for that they're touched. But it's all there when Marie Bäumer plays. I witness her become this fragile, tormented human being and I feel my own human flaws and that is more than I could wish from a movie: it makes me feel. I see humanity in a hundred different ways - some hurt, some heal. I think emotions can be a blessing. Marie Bäumer has that special talent and with her interpretation of Romy Schneider she deeply touches me. I admire her since I first saw her in a german comedy, 18 years ago, and I admire her even more now. To meet her in person was a dream come true. She's such a strong personality, natural and friendly, humble and, in opposition to her film character, well-balanced. 3 days in Quiberon is clearly one of the most touching movies I've ever seen. When I first saw it, I thought: this might be one of the best films I've ever seen (and I go to the movies a lot!). By now I think: this actually is the one best movie I've ever seen. It's beautiful, it's painful, it is perfection. It left me sad and happy and a million things in between. And that's what films are for: emotions. But what am I telling you. Go see it, you'll understand me.
beautiful and moving
You don't have to know or be a fan of Romy Schneider to appreciate this film! It is a human, emotional and strong portrait of a woman, which has a universal appeal. Anyone who has felt lonely, experienced pain, felt lost will connect with this story. I really hope many many more will take the journey of this film.
Consider Marie Bäumer for an Oscar nomination next year!
A biopic of Romy Schneider during her last weeks of her life. The film portrays the very emotional and radical last interview she has given while she was on holidays and cure in Quiberon. She gets confronted with her past and life in general which turns into another crisis of the troubled legendary european actress. Marie Bäumer is absolutely phenomenal in the leading role. And if that had been an american film, she surely would be a strong contender for the Oscar. Bäumer not only perfectly captures the mannerisms of Schneider, no she allows us a very deep look into her soul and there is not one scene where she is now shining! Absolutely breathtaking performance. The rest of the cast is also great. Charly Hübner is extremely sympathetic and lovable. Birgit Minichmayr is as great as always and turns into a warm and brilliant supporting performance as Romy's best friend Hilde. The choice to direct the film in black and white was absolutely perfect because on that way the close ups worked even better and more effective. Great score, great direction and a fantastic screenplay makes this an absolutely worthy biopic of Romy Schneider. Highly recommended not only for fans of the actress but to everyone because it perfectly describes a woman on the edgiest edge of breakdown.
3 days full of pain, maybe the defining Romy Schneider biopic
"3 Tage in Quiberon" or "3 Days in Quiberon" is a new co-production between Austria, Germany and France and actually, this film had its wide release today. It runs for slightly under 2 hours and is the most recent work by Berlin writer and director Emily Atef and if we can trust the German Film Awards, then this movie is in for a great deal of awards recognition in the next couple months, maybe year. It is a black-and-white film by the way and I think it is tough to say if that was the right choice. Normally, I am tempted to like black-and-white and I also liked it here somehow, but it would also have been a good film in color in my opinion, perhaps even a better film in color. The subject here is actress Romy Schneider in the last stages of her career and sadly also life. She is at a clinic in Quiberon trying to clean her body, but as she keeps taking pills and drinking alcohol in-between, there is really no great success there. The main character is played by actress Maria Bäumer and I would lie if I said that I like her as an actress. I think she is pretty limited, even if this one here is not a horrible performance by her. I guess her nude scenes also helped her with her approval here. You get to see everything except full frontal. The great strength is definitely how incredibly similar she looks to Schneider, even if she certainly comes nowhere near her talent. But the film does not live through Bäumer's Schneider, but through the supporting characters. Minichmayr is brilliant as usual and she does so much acting with her face only that you'd constantly wonder what's going on in her head. Hübner plays an interesting character too and I'd have been fine with him scoring a German Film Award nomination too. He is the only one that was snubbed. And Gwisdek shines as a reporter in here and he is maybe my favorite cast member and his voice really sounds a lot like Herbst's. Anyway, I think all three supporting characters draw their own advantage from spending time with Schneider and yet they are all somehow in awe of her and don't want to hurt her. Be it through the unspectacularf woman enjoying the priviliges of the high society while still being a really good friend. Or the journalist who wants his career and impactful article, but still gives Schneider the chance to cut out segments that she doesn't want in it. Or the old friend/lover who is still attracted to Schneider and may care about her, but also cares about his sexual desires. I think there is one moment that summarizes very well why Schneider is so broken at that point. It's the massive gap between being a woman in the spotlight more than anybody else while being very sensitive and very intimate at the same time. It had to destroy her as well as her relationship with her kids. I think the subject here is really interesting and even if somebody who is too young to experience the Romy Schneider phenomenon first hand, I still can find the myth. i also liked the very last words about her eternal beauty before the closing credits roll in. The film never dragged much and that's always good for such a long movie. I also think that it was a good decision to check this one out and especially if you care about Schneider or the Sissi trilogy, it's very much worth seeing especially to understand that there is more about the young beautiful girl, a lot more. Like you see in the one scene when she is asked (by Denis Lavant's character) if she is Sissi and responds in French that she is Romy Schneider. A career-defining performance and a curse at the very same time because it was just impossible for the actress to do justice to the innocent character she once played and was still seen by everybody. There are small references to Romy's parents, especially her mother, but i think that was fine and enough as these characters never appear in the movie. Heartbreaking near the end to see how she cannot even talk to her son on the phone. Maybe I would not say that it was a film as great as many people say it is, but I was genuinely well-entertained from start to finish.. I also believe it is really a great character study, not just when it comes to Bäumer's central character, but also when it comes to the three people by her side in this good achievement. Go check it out if you get a chance. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It sometimes is a painful watch to see how emotionally and physically fragile the main character is, but that does not take a way from its class whatsoever. on the contrary actually. Quick correction: Of course, Hübner was nominated for a German Film Award as well. I must have overlooked him. Congrats to the three acting winners and Emily Atef for their trophies as well as this movie winning the big prize. Should be one to watch the coming year globally too at awards ceremonies.
Romy Wasn't Spilt In A Day
This, alas, is the kind of film that receives only a token showing in England when the quality on display deserves blanket release. On the other hand we must learn to be thankful for small mercies and at least it has actually played in the UK. I am a regular filmgoer and if it were possible I would watch many many more 'art house' films than multiplex fodder, alas, the ratio is stacked the other way. Prior to watching Three Days In Quiburon I was unable to name anyone in front of or behind the camera with the obvious exception of Romy Schneider herself who does not, of course, appear onther than in the brilliant incarnation of Marie Baumer who gives a performance that is BEYOND Oscar worthy which probably means she will be overlooked even for a nomination but it is both fair and true to say that everyone involved, especially the four leads are exceptional. Miss it at your loss.
