The Confessions of Winifred Wagner

The Confessions of Winifred Wagner () is a 1975 West German documentary film directed by Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.

Summary

It is about Winifred Wagner, widow of Richard Wagner's son Siegfried Wagner and the person responsible for the Bayreuth Festival from 1930 and 1945.

Production

The film is a five hours long interview where Syberberg talks to the then-78-year-old Wagner about her work, her family, Wagner's music and Adolf Hitler. The tone is kept dry and seemingly objective, which is reflected in the original German title, which, unlike the English, does not imply any guilt.
