Review of Morocco (1930) by Naomi S — 24 Aug 2013

I can tell this is a great movie, but unfortunately, I didn't see a clean copy. I need to see a clean version to properly admire the visuals. Like the later movies 'Algiers' and 'Casablanca', this is an extremely atmospheric depiction of Northern Africa under French colonial rule.

And while the love story is old fashioned and dated, it is romantic as all heck with a really moving ending. My only real complaint is that there's a very confusing scene midway through the movie that I couldn't even comprehend after going back to review it again.

It left me lost for quite a long time. Do yourself a huge favour and don't watch this on youtube - it's too good for that.
