The title \u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Time…\u003c\/em\u003e resonates as a tragic irony — for while the world wished to see in her a fairy-tale princess, the reality was one of fierce struggle to break free from the constraints imposed by an ever-present mother and the spectre of a Germany in search of redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eFrom the forced candour of the Sissi years to the incandescence of Claude Sautet’s masterpieces, this work analyses how Romy used her filmography as a territory of exorcism. Each role — from \u003cem\u003eLa Piscine\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eL’Important c’est d’aimer\u003c\/em\u003e — is reread as a stage in her personal construction — or deconstruction.
