I've seen her collaborations with Visconti and of course, La piscine... Les choses de la vie is on FilmStruck - I'll start there? Or should I just go with the Sissi films?

Les choses de la vie is devastatingly great.
Max and the Junkmen is even better.
Need to see more of her work...

Basically the films she made with Claude Sautet and Viced mentioned 2 of the best and also A Simple Story with him. I'm also a fan of Claude Miller's Garde A Vue which was one of her last roles. There was basically no filmmaker like Sautet btw - I recommended him to you recently with his masterful A Heart in Winter - (she's not in that) but he basically saved Schneider's career and they worked well together. I'd also recommend another great Sautet film (no Schneider here either ) to you btw Tyler - Vincent, Francois, Paul And The Others which is an entire film about male friendship and is as beautiful and evocative a French film as you'll ever come across. Utterly unique and mature in the best sense......

Like others have mentioned.... start with the post-La Piscine movies. You've already seen the Visconti so I won't go there. That period in France (1970s-1980s) is often obscured. Depardieu isn't quite obscure but if he were a decade older he could be.
But yeah... she was doing some great work in France when Huppert was just an infant. Huppert in the late 70s began to show people what she's about, but Schneider was THE girl of France a little bit before her.
Adjani is more popular than Schneider, but Schneider's strength of work kind of buries her. Her work has more variety, doesn't need the auteur movies Possession or Nosferatu, and Adjani is often in ghost-face mode and sometimes a bit one-note. Romy is just more scintillating.

Do you guys recommend The Cardinal? One of her few American films - she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work here.

Aside from those already mentioned, I thought she gave a haunting performance in Fantasma d'amore (Ghost of Love). The film itself isn't particularly good but I do love the foggy setting and the performances from Schneider and (surprisingly) Mastroianni.

She's heartbreaking in Death Watch ('80). There's a scene when she confronts Harry Dean Stanton's character and says "There are private things." And he coldly replies, "Are there?..... Why?" It's really kind of sad and chilling, and an interesting film too! pacinoyes (as usual!!) recommended it to me a while ago.

Indeed, she's a very haunting and almost ghostly presence in that one - Stanton, Keitel and Von Sydow also all in the same film too (!) It's almost incomprehensible that no one has chosen to remake Death Watch since its themes are very up to date and in 1980 were pretty far out there. I always thought, in a way, David Cronenberg probably likes it a lot

All of her Sautet films - The Things of Life (1970), Max and the Junkmen (1971), Cesar and Rosalie (1972), Mado (1976), and A Simple Story (1978) - one of the great unsung director/actress collaborations. Also essential are the Visconti segment from Boccaccio 70 (1962) and three later films - That Most Important Thing: Love (1975), Death Watch (1980), and La Passante (1982).

I saw Max and the Junkmen earlier this week... Loved it. I thought you guys might like this - Vogue Paris did an homage to Romy's iconic black trench coat style from the film in March '15 with models Kate Moss, Lara Stone, and Daria Werbowy. Check out the covers!: Le sigh... Hoping to see Garde à vue and Le train (Trintignant!!!) soon.

putting this here for a bump and bc I got questions as I'm going thru her work, even tho I wouldn't recommend this one for her - Monpti (1957) Under 7/10 - a German production Paris-set romance that is light and nice until becoming very unnecessarily depressing. Romy, despite the poster and billing, is underutilized tho she's lovely when she's on, but mostly... It sticks to Horst, a Hungarian slash amateur painter slash daydreamer, who trots around the city and waits on rain-soaked benches for Romy (who wouldn't?). It's beautifully shot with some magnificent sets. @tyler Is there a consensus best German perf from Romy? the Sissi movies? I've seen Mädchen.... I'm also having a bastard of a time finding a lot of her movies I wanna see.... Fantasma d'amore (1981) with Mastroianni, Qui? (1970) with Maurice Ronet, a few she did with Philippe Noiret. Anyone seen these - worth seeking out for her?

Mattsby - For her German output, I’d go with Group Portrait with a Lady. For French, That Most Important Thing: Love. I’ve seen almost all of her major performances now… She’s in my top 5 favorite actresses - Ava, Ingrid, Charlotte, and Catherine round it out.

Also I love her in Boccaccio 70 and in the Swimming pool. I haven't seen or at least remember most of her films. I don't like her american films, she looks a little miscast.-

Mattsby - You might also like Dino Risi's Fantasma d'Amore - Romy and Mastroianni. It's a beautiful film - one of her final roles.

Mattsby - You might also like Dino Risi's Fantasma d'Amore - Romy and Mastroianni. It's a beautiful film - one of her final roles. My review in the Last Movie thread doesn't come up in searches! So I'm reposting here for the future Romy-roamers. Fantasma d’amore (1981) 7/10 or more. “For a few days, the memory of you haunted me.” Smog-streeted weeper starring Mastroianni in a performance of delicate emotional disaster, backwards thinking and sinking making the present feel to him entirely new... there's a boy lostness to him. For an actor with such great winking swagger, he's given many quiet, gentle, soulful perfs. And for Dino Risi an Italian smiler who's made comedy classics, here's another haunting one he made shortly after The Forbidden Room. Romy Schneider is supporting but her presence is all over - her perf is sad, but femme-fatale esque, and literally ghostly. Idk how many actors seem to embody their own future tragedy on screen like her, it gives some of these movies an extra eerie depth. This came a year after Death Watch, and a year after that, she was gone.

Romy Schneider - L'important c'est d'aimerSaw this one last night and was floored. I've been combing through Romy Schneider's filmography and it's her 70s era for me that's pushing her up there as one of my favorites. This film was made by the same director of Possession, so as you can imagine, he demands a lot from an actress. And Schneider gives the kind of performance I live for - the ones where the performer seemingly departs the acting arena and goes to a place where all nerve endings are exposed. My favorite performances have that in common. And there's something about Romy Schneider, in particular, that makes seeing her in the state she's in here - tenderly, then explosively raw - almost painful. See the powerful scene below: PromNightCarrie, @tyler Fyi, this new doc screened at Cannes on Romy - it's apparently quite good :

pacinoyes It's true what's said in there. She was so photogenic. Incredible gaze. I may watch it, but I saw a documentary on Romy and I found it so depressing that it was hard to get through. Her life was so tragic (her poor son!). I feel the same way about watching Judy Garland documentaries. There's not much interest in her in America (she didn't have a huge career here) but she appears to remain such a beloved and fascinating figure to Europe still and that's great.
