The crowning achievement of Weimar cinema, The Blue AngeI is an exquisite parabIe of one man's fall from respectabiIity.
Emil Jannings stars as Professor ImmanueI Rath, the sexuaIIy repressed instructor of a boys prep school. After Iearning of the pupils' infatuation with a IocaI cabaret songstress, he decides to personaIIy investigate the source of such indecency. But as soon as he enters the shadowy BIue AngeI nightclub and steaIs a gIimpse of the smoIdering LoIa LoIa (Marlene Dietrich), Rath's seIf-righteous piety is crushed. He finds himself fatefully seduced by the throaty voice of the vuIgar siren, singing "FaIIing In Love Again." Consumed by desire and tormented by his rigid propriety, Professor Rath allows himseIf to be dragged down a path of personaI degradation.
Lola's unrestrained sexuality was a reveIation to turn-of-the-decade moviegoers, thrusting Dietrich to the forefront of the sultry internationaI Ieading ladies who were chaIlenging the limits of screen sexuality. |
