No.1 Acadamy Awards Candidate! It's a shame, that "Marlene" is not scheduled to be shown in the U.S.! Though it's almost impossible to capture the life of Marlene Dietrich director Joseph Vilsmaier ("Comedian Harmonists") did a great job. The actors (Katja Flint as Marlene, H.W.Meyer as Josef von Sternberg ...) are brilliant! Hopefully this movie will be shown in the United States, because it's absolutely worth watching ... and moreover it is for sure a no.1 candidate for the next academy awards!
