Entertainment Reviews:
...Witty, tough-minded, imaginative and finally deeply appreciative...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
I think we learn much more about Dietrich than we would have if she had submitted to the usual paint-by-numbers, fawning Biography Channel type of film.

...Unconventional....MARLENE is something else -- a portrait of a remarkably strong-willed woman...
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
At once enigmatic, deliberately obfuscating in nature and extremely revealing.

Rating: 3/4 --
The bilingual parrying between the withholding diva and her frustrated chronicler often seems like Sunset Boulevard re-imagined as a radio play, with sex removed from the equation but marlenus interruptus aplenty.

Slant Magazine
Rating: A- --
Schell uses the limiting conditions-Dietrich did't let him photograph her-to an advantage, resulting in a revelatory work that's more interesting because of the combative relationship with his subject, a star wishing to keep control to the bitter end

The result is a fascinating document, not only of the star herself, but also of the documentary as personal process.

Product Description:
A stunning, award-winning portrait of the sultry German movie star, Marlene Dietrich. Fellow actor Maximilian Schell was hand-picked by Dietrich to direct and narrate this revealing documentary that includes interviews and film clips, as well as Marlene's own distinctive commentary throughout the film.
