The Blue Angel (Der blaue Engel)
To coincide with the centenary of the Weimar Republic, one of the first German language sound films - Josef von Sternberg's 1930 tragicomedy - returns to selected cinemas. The Blue Angel brought together the director and his muse, Marlene Dietrich. She plays Lola, the intoxicating star attraction at a cabaret club called The Blue Angel. Schoolteacher Immanuel Rath (Emil Jannings) arrives at the club, hoping to find of his unruly pupils there. Instead, the professor becomes enraptured with Lola and he eagerly woos the object of his infatuation. As his desire for Lola grows and she huskily sings, "Falling in love again, Never wanted to..." Immanuel slowly loses his grasp on his carefully ordered world.
