Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Luise Rainer was the first actor to win consecutive Oscars (1936-37) and this was her final screen appearance before her death in 2014 at age 104.
The film adapts poems from over 50 German-language poets spanning centuries, creating an unlikely collision of high art and MTV-generation editing.
