Austria, late 19th century. Countess Irma Sztáray (Sandra Hüller) leaves her home in Hungary to become the lady-in-waiting for Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Susanne Wolff), known to those close to her as Sisi. Irma falls under the spell of the rebellious Empress Sisi, and the two form a strong bond during a summer retreat in Greece. However, once home in Vienna, their lives take dramatic and irrevocable turns.

“Lush, irreverent” (Variety) and “vividly shot” (AWFJ.org), SISI & I features Academy Award-nominated Sandra Hüller and Susanne Wolff in a “thought-provoking and entertaining glance at the famous empress” (Cineuropa).

"An enjoyable film."

Wonderful Biopic Fantasy

"Sandra Hüller and Susanne Wolff are outstanding in this biopic fantasy. Based on true events and characters but made into a highly entertaining and thought provoking film. Hoping fir more films by Frauke Finsterwalder to make it to FM Blu-rays. Very Highy Recommended"

— Hansi L. (5/5)

Beautifully shot

"A well acted and written film. I'm pretty sure there was another movie about this same woman within the last three or four years. Can't remember the title. Modern music in a period piece can work well sometimes and I liked it here. Holds interest throughout."
