Connection
Solveig Dommartin is a Actor, Idea and Editor French born on 16 may 1961 at Paris (France)
Solveig Dommartin (16 May 1961 – 11 January 2007) was a French-German actress.
Her acting career began in the theatre with "Compagnie Timothee Laine" and with the "Theater Labor Warschau". She had her first experiences with film as an assistant of Jacques Rozier.
Her debut as a film actress was Wings of Desire (1987) under Wim Wenders. She was able to learn the challenging circus acrobatics in only eight weeks, and performed the full role without using a stunt double. She co-authored Until the End of the World (1991) with Wenders and travelled around the world with him in search of locations for the project.
Wim Wenders said about Until the End of the World:
"Solveig Dommartin and I had written the story of our film together, and we thought that we only had the right to enter into such a sacred area like a person's dreams, if we would bring something into the work that was sacred to ourselves".
Dommartin died of a heart attack in Paris in 2007 at the age of 45. She was survived by her daughter, Venus.
Elle est figurante dans des films tournés dans la région avant de s'inscrire en 1979 à l'université de Vincennes à Paris, en option théâtre. Un jeune metteur en scène, Timothée Laine, lui permet de faire ses classes et d'intégrer le laboratoire de Wrocław Grotowski (Theater Labor Warschau). Sur les planches parisiennes, elle joue dans une pièce de Sénèque et une autre de Bergman, Peintures sur bois. Solveig Dommartin tourne pour la première fois en 1983 dans le court-métrage, Lettre de la Sierra Morena, de Jacques Rozier, aux côtés de Fabrice Luchini et Maurice Risch.
C'est le réalisateur allemand Wim Wenders, dont elle fut la compagne, qui lui donne dans Les Ailes du désir, en 1987, le rôle de la trapéziste Marion, qui la fait connaître du grand public. Pour sa prestation, elle apprend le trapèze acrobatique en six semaines et tourne sans doublure. Toujours avec W. Wenders, elle tourne en 1991 Jusqu'au bout du monde dont elle écrit avec lui le scénario, puis la suite des Ailes du Désir, Si loin, si proche !, en 1993.
En 1997, elle réalise Il suffirait d'un pont, un court-métrage de 20 minutes, autour du quartier Saint-Martin à Paris.
Vie personnelle et décès
Le 24 février 1999, elle donne naissance à une fille prénommée Vénus, qu'elle a eue avec Dominique Antraygues.
Morte à 45 ans d'une crise cardiaque, Solveig Dommartin est inhumée à Bulgnéville (Vosges) où elle a passé une grande partie de son enfance.
Véronique Cayla, directrice générale du CNC, a salué « l'actrice magique qui illuminait l'écran et qui éblouissait chacun d'entre nous. » Lors de la 14e édition du Festival international du film de Nancy, il a été décidé de lui rendre un hommage exceptionnel en lui consacrant la soirée d'ouverture.

The film takes place in late 1999. India has an out-of-control nuclear satellite in orbit that is about to re-enter the atmosphere at any time, contaminating large areas of the Earth. This has caused a massive panic, with everyone trying to flee the likely impact sites. Caught in a traffic jam, impatient and disconnected Claire Tourneur (Solveig Dommartin) escapes the highway congestion by taking a side road. Her dashboard computer system announces she has left the map zone database and is on her own. She then has a couple of odd encounters, first with a pair of bank robbers (which leaves her with a large amount of cash), then with a hitchhiker being pursued by an armed party. Claire discovers, after falling in love with the enigmatic fugitive, that he is the son of a scientist (played by Max von Sydow), and has absconded with the prototype of a secret research project. Multiple government agencies and freelance bounty hunters are chasing him to recover the device.

Roles Marion
Rating78%
Set in contemporary West Berlin (at the time still enclosed by the Berlin Wall), Wings of Desire follows two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, as they roam the city, unseen and unheard by its human inhabitants, observing and listening to the diverse thoughts of Berliners: a pregnant woman in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, a painter struggling to find inspiration, a broken man who thinks his girlfriend no longer loves him. Their raison d'être is, as Cassiel says, to "assemble, testify, preserve" reality. In addition to the story of two angels, the film is also a meditation on Berlin's past, present, and future. Damiel and Cassiel have always existed as angels; they existed in Berlin before it was a city, and before there were even any humans.
