Morocco

USA 1930, 97 min, 35mm, Dir: Josef von Sternberg

"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)
