Acclaimed, award-winning filmmaker Maximillian Schell reconstructs the life and career of the enigmatic film diva. This is accomplished through use of archival footage and commentary from the actress recorded at her home. Schell's job was complicated by the aging actresses's stipulation that her face not be photographed directly. 不“刻奇”的黛德丽女士。 影片以谢尔在马琳•黛德丽的巴黎住所对时年81岁的后者的数日采访为基础，在其拒绝出镜和讨论私人生活的情况下，导演将电影代表作、电视演出片段和新闻录像重新编排，并于次年搬演了采访景象，再现剧组克服拍摄障碍的过程，不掩偷窥调查氛围。黛德丽于采访中对与其合作过的众多演员和导演做出评价，也回顾了自己二战时期的作为，并追溯自己在柏林的早年时光。影片在捕捉传奇人物的时代精神的同时记录下导演个人的探索旅程。（豆瓣电影字幕翻译2.0小组）
