  1. EL CINE DE LOS AÑOS 30.
    MARRUECOS (1930)
    En Morocco, estrenada en España como Marruecos, el amor no aparece como refugio, sino como una condena hermosa y abrasadora. Josef von Sternberg convierte el melodrama romántico en una experiencia casi hipnótica, suspendida entre el humo de los cabarets, el polvo del desierto y la melancolía de unos personajes que parecen saber...

  2. I just watched Morocco (Josef von Sternberg, 1930) and rated it 5/10 ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco_ #films #cinema #cinemastodon #Morocco #JosefVonSternberg #MarleneDietrich - mostly beautiful to look at but ... dreadful story and Gary Cooper was just appalling so the end made no sense!

  3. What are your picks as the most visually stunning movies ever made? My totally personal list:

    Faust 1926
    The Scarlet Empress 1934
    He Walked by Night 1948
    Black Narcissus 1947
    Kwaidan 1964
    A Clockwork Orange 1971
    Lisa and the Devil 1974
    Barry Lyndon 1975

  4. The Devil is a Woman (1935), the last Josef von Sternberg film starring Marlene Dietrich. Based on Pierre Louÿs' superb 1898 decadent novel The Woman and the Puppet.

    This film is an expression of von Sternberg’s uncompromising aesthetic principles. Substance doesn't matter, because the style IS the substance.

    One of the greatest movies of all time.

  5. The Blue Angel (1930), the first Josef von Sternberg movie to star Marlene Dietrich.

    Made in Germany with both the English and the much superior German language versions being shot simultaneously.

    Dietrich is extraordinary as Lola Lola, a surprisingly complex and ambiguous femme fatale.

    A true cinematic masterpiece.

  6. Is The Scarlet Empress (1934), the fifth of the six Paramount Josef von Sternberg-Marlene Dietrich movies, the greatest movie ever made? The answer of course is yes.

    Von Sternberg described it as “a relentless excursion into style” and that's what it is. It's not style over substance - in this film the style IS the substance.

    And the style is overwhelming and wondrous.

  7. Marlene Dietrich stars in Josef von Sternberg's The Scarlet Empress (1934). If this is not the greatest motion picture of all time then it's definitely in the top five. Von Sternberg described it as “a relentless excursion into style” and he wasn’t kidding.

    I like movies that offer style over content. In von Sternberg's case the style is the content. That's what movies are all about.
