Susanne Wolff has earned rave reviews for her darkly funny, often heartbreaking, and very original historical film Sisi & I, in which she stars opposite Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller. She spoke with MovieWeb’s Archie Fenn about making the film and working with Hüller, the historical accounts of Empress Sisi, and more. Sisi & I was released July 12, 2024 from Film Movement.

Countess Irma, hired as Empress Sisi’s lady-in-waiting, accompanies her to a women-only commune in Greece. As they bond, Irma becomes fascinated by Sisi’s eccentric lifestyle. Their relationship deepens, leading to tensions and revelations that challenge their roles within the rigid confines of aristocratic society.
