Showing no signs of slowing down with the output of Charlatan (2020), Green Border (2023), and Franz (2025) this decade, Agnieszka Holland is entering the sewing circle following film history’s most iconic actress in Marlene Dietrich. The trades announce that the Polish filmmaker will direct Berlinweh – Yearning for a Home – a biopic in four time periods. The big question is who’ll take on the role — and will this be a solo performance or filled in by several actresses? X Filme Creative Pool’s Uwe Schott and Josephine Blume, Mike Downey, and Marlene Film Production’s Šárka Cimbalová are producing. No word yet on when this moves into production but we guess the timeline would be for a 2028 drop.
Written by Ingo Rasper, this follows Dietrich across four decisive days in four different decades, portraying her in shifting cultural and political contexts: Paris in 1937, Bergen-Belsen in 1945, Tel Aviv in 1960, and once again Paris in 1983.
