Description
Professor Rath (Emil Jannings) learns of his students’ infatuation with nightclub singer Lola-Lola (Marlene Dietrich). Determined to stop her indecency, the repressed, self-righteous teacher is instead fatally seduced the moment the songstress belts out “Falling in Love Again.” The first of the legendary Dietrich-Sternberg collaborations, The Blue Angel is one of the screen’s most iconic stories of romantic obsession. (35mm, 106min, in German with subtitles)
