Veronika Voss
Stars don't die, they fade away.
Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Produced by Laura Film, Tango Film
A melancholic portrait of a fading star's descent into addiction and delusion, anchored by an intimate but ultimately tragic relationship.
In Munich 1955, German film star Veronika Voss becomes a drug addict at the mercy of corrupt Dr. Marianne Katz, who keeps her supplied with morphine. After meeting sports writer Robert Krohn, Veronika begins to dream of a return to stardom. As the couple's relationship escalates in intensity, Veronika begins seriously planning her return to the screen -- only to realize how debilitated she has become through her drug habit.
