À Munich, en 1955, la rencontre entre Robert Krohn, chroniqueur sportif, et Veronika Voss, grande star de cinéma d'avant-guerre. Un rapport de fascination et de compassion s'instaure entre Robert et l'actrice déchue. Il découvre peu à peu que Veronika vit sous l'influence du Dr Katz, femme affable qui l'approvisionne en morphine dans sa clinique privée. Robert et sa femme Henriette conçoivent un plan pour faire tomber la doctoresse... (Carlotta Films)

A killer Fassbinder over-stylized story that should be an homage but is instead just an embarrassing mockery. Outside of time and space, he rides the wave of all those Sunset Boulevards and their leitmotifs about fallen divas, whose generation was knocked out of public life no later than in 1952 (in the West) along with the garish colors of Singin' in the Rain.

From my point of view, this is a rather average drama by Fassbinder, which imitates traditional melodramas produced by German UFA studios from the period of the German Third Reich. The director uses the tragic fate of a film diva addicted to opioids to subtly remind us of the Nazi past of many German artists. The motif of drugs is interesting - Fassbinder himself tried many of them, and ultimately, shortly after completing the film, he fatally overdosed. Overall impression: 55%. In my opinion, the pace is a bit slow and the film's presentation is traditionalist.
