The Blue Angel
Dir: Josef von Sternberg
Germany, 1930, 108 minmins, DCP
Cast: Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings, Kurt Gerron
Giving off her heat waves of eroticism and icy chills of heartlessness to the mesmeric role of cabaret singer Lola Lola, Dietrich became an overnight sensation, casting her sensuous spell when singing “Falling in Love Again” in her smoky voice. Enchanted, Emil Jannings (winner of the first Academy Award for Best Actor), the pompous, wretched professor ends up in humiliation and self-destruction for his doomed love; while Sternberg scored an overwhelming triumph with his expressionist masterpiece of erotic obsession – and Germany’s most admired release of sound film in history.
