Summary
- Agnieszka Holland directs a film about Marlene Dietrich's life.
- Film follows Dietrich across four decades and pivotal moments.

Director Agnieszka Holland is set to helm "Berlinweh - Yearning for a Home," a feature film focusing on the life of iconic German-American actress Marlene Dietrich. The screenplay, written by Ingo Rasper, is being brought to life by a collaboration between X Filme Creative Pool, Marlene Film Production, and producer Mike Downey.
The film promises a deep dive into Dietrich's inner turmoil, exploring her simultaneous estrangement from and yearning for her homeland. "Berlinweh" will not follow a linear timeline but rather focus on four crucial days in four distinct decades: Paris in 1937, Bergen-Belsen in 1945, Tel Aviv in 1960, and Paris again in 1983.
