The Confessions of Winifred Wagner is the greatest and most monumental of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's early documentaries. As in Romy, Portrait of a Face (1965), Syberberg explores the complex relationship between the construction of cinematic star images, mythologizing narratives, and the revelation of human personality. Epic and bracingly direct, it provides unique insights into the arc of German music and German history. In German with English Subtitles.
