Review of The Scarlet Empress (1934) by C.j. S — 14 Feb 2009
Josef von Sternmberg's phantasmical telling of the story of Catherine the Great seeps with the disturbing beauty of a delirium. The visual tone of the film - created by stunning use of light, texture and setting - creates a tapestry of impressions that highlight the formidable and enigmatic beauty of its star.
