Review of The Blue Angel (1930) by Benoît R — 16 Dec 2009
Great story: Heinrich Mann, Professor Unrat (1905). Great cinema: Josef von Sternberg directed. Great theme: loss of identity through obsession. Now let's speculate: Could it be remade? Should the screenplay be re-written for today's more "accepting" academic environment and the sexual interpersonal power relationships of the 21st century? Have these changed in 100 years? If it were remade, who would be cast as Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich's role) and who as Prof.
Rath (Emil Jannings role)? Should the conclusion be the same?
