Josef von Sternberg

The Blue Angel

Marlene Dietrich stars in Josef von Sternberg's 1930 film, emblematic of its historical moment.

• 6 - 16 December

Occasionally, a film becomes emblematic of its historical moment. As Wall Street crashed and the Weimar Republic expired, a bewitched von Sternberg turned his camera on Marlene Dietrich's thighs to create Hitler's favourite film. Der Blaue Engel conserves an authentic Berlin stimmung: we can smell the beer and b.o.
