In her roles, Vicky Krieps often comes across as a girl who grew up too quickly. But with her defiance she can also hold her own as “Sisi” – and against giants like Daniel Day-Lewis. About an incredibly inscrutable.

When Vicky Krieps entered the big, international stage in 2017, it happened with a stumble. In “The Thread” by Paul Thomas Anderson she played a waitress in a hotel, young, rosy-cheeked, fresh, she collides with a colleague, giggles, looks shyly at the guest at the window, whose never-ending order she is about to take. The famous ball gown designer Reynolds Woodcock, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, falls in love with her immediately and takes her to London to his glamorous world. One thinks: She has no chance. Not against this urbane takeover. Soon he will grow weary of her, just as he always will, as we have already seen in the first scenes, of his beautiful young lover.
