YouTube - "Sisi" Neuauflage - Dreharbeiten in Wien (with english subtitles)

The movie was okay, but somehow the charme of the old 50s movie (with Romy Schneider) was missing...

[Empress Merel]

It looks promising. But like said before; the classic is still Sissi with the beautiful Romy.

I wish her life could be filmed in a big production. Close to what was real so the story of her life can be spread.

Romy Schneider movie store with great care I had received. This is a very enjoyable film to watch the German, but still. I hope this new film is our chance for a moment before.
Who is portrayed in this film Sissi?

It's once again Sisi who is portrayed.

The new movie is not so much different from the old one, the main
difference is that the new TV production is limited to the time of
Elizabeth's youth till her coronation as Queen of Hungary in 1867 at
the age of 29. It shows Elizabeth as a more emancipated woman,
but large parts and stories are identical, it's a bit less kitschy and
it's cleaned from the intentions that were conntected with the
production in the 1950s. But still it's a very romantic film.

In my eyes the only but important advantage of the remake is,
that you get the chance to imagine Elizabeth herself, without
always having Romy Schneider in mind. Romy Schneider disliked
her "Sissi"-image, but at the same time it's been unfair towards
the real Sisi that many people always thought and think of Romy
Schneider first..
