“She is beautiful with a beauty that she has forged itself. They need to be flattered and excited at the same time but as soon as they loose the rein, they are capable of achieving the most breathtaking performance! ” “She reminds me of those thoroughbreds who prance, hypersensitive, at the slightest glance. We want visitors to leave uplifted by her grace and beauty, by which life emerges from it despite the tragedies that have struck – by the obviousness of her talent, the wealth of her career and her encounters. We want this exhibition to show the height of what was Romy Schneider was, of what she represents. Rare documents, personal items, professional memories and unseen photos tell stories because the route of an actress and a woman of passion, well beyond the screen, has touched the heart of audiences while accompanying the story of the century. It is these paradoxes that this exhibition will highlight. Rarely has a foreign aura at this point incarnated France … Rarely has a woman been as bright and as turbulent. Rarely has a star been both blessed by the gods and as much struck by fate. Rarely has an actress made history so young with an aura so accomplished, just looking, driven by a great desire for the absolute, to escape her own legend. Rarely has an actress been both as beautiful and moving. Please click on the photographs for a a larger version of the image. Many thankx to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes for allowing me to publish the photographs in the posting. “She is tormented, pure, violent, proud…”Ĭontinuing my love affair with the woman that is, eternally, Romy Schneider. J’adore!

“Elle est tourmentée, pure, violente, orgueilleuse…”

Exhibition dates: 2nd July – 2nd September 2012
