All screenings @ Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, 9828 - 101A Ave
"Von Sternberg's poetic, atmospheric mise en scène is the perfect vehicle for the birth of the Dietrich legend. In this sumptuously designed film, The Blue Angel's provocative cabaret tart evolves into a world-weary chanteuse running from her past in North Africa, yet willing to sacrifice all for her true love, legionnaire Gary Cooper. Dietrich's first American film, and the only one for which she received an Academy Award® nomination, Morocco is a knockout, and unsurprisingly floored film goers." (George Kaltsounakis, Cinematheque Ontario)
“Of one thing there is no doubt: Morocco reaffirms the magic of the movies, makes everything else look worn and faded, like a hot summer sunrise in the middle of a cold winter night.” (Tag Gallagher, Senses of Cinema)

This screening is part of the larger thematic series:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
