One of the most celebrated figures of the New German Cinema, Hanna
Schygulla acquired transnational stardom through her work with a
range of directors in different national cinemas and languages.
This absorbing study charts Schygulla's career and star persona
from her early days as a member of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's
experimental anti-teater group to her work with eminent European
auteurs, including Jean-Luc Godard, Andrzej Wajda and, more
recently, Fatih Akin. It also discusses her reinvention as an
acclaimed cabaret chanteuse. Unpicking the myth that Schygulla's
star persona depended on her collaboration with Fassbinder, Ulrike
Sieglohr examines how her versatile and idiosyncratic acting style
developed throughout her career. With in-depth analysis of key
films and their international receptions, Sieglohr foregrounds
Schygulla's individual agency, resourcefulness and talent.
