  • Angel Sings the Blues: Josef Von Sternberg's the Blue Angel in Context
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 30, núm. 2 (2020) · ISSN: 2014-668X REVIEW ESSAYS . Angel Sings the Blues: Josef von Sternberg’s The Blue Angel in Context ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This essay reconsiders The Blue Angel (1930) not only in light of its 2001 restoration, but also in light of the following: the careers of Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings, and Marlene Dietrich; the 1905 novel by Heinrich Mann from which The Blue Angel was adapted; early sound cinema; and the cultural-historical circumstances out of which the film arose. In The Blue Angel, Dietrich, in particular, found the vehicle by which she could achieve global stardom, and Sternberg—a volatile man of mystery and contradiction, stubbornness and secretiveness, pride and even arrogance—for the first time found a subject on which he could focus his prodigious talent. Keywords: The Blue Angel, Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings, Marlene Dietrich, Heinrich Mann, Nazism. Resumen Este ensayo reconsidera El ángel azul (1930) no solo a la luz de su restauración de 2001, sino también a la luz de lo siguiente: las carreras de Josef von Sternberg, Emil Jannings y Marlene Dietrich; la novela de 1905 de Heinrich Mann de la cual se adaptó El ángel azul; cine de sonido temprano; y las circunstancias histórico-culturales de las cuales surgió la película. En El ángel azul, Dietrich, en particular, encontró el vehículo por el cual podía alcanzar el estrellato global, y Sternberg, un hombre volátil de misterio y contradicción, terquedad y secretismo, orgullo e incluso arrogancia, por primera vez encontró un tema en el que podía enfocar su prodigioso talento.

  • Charles Lewinsky GERRON. Novel. Nagel & Kimche, 2011. Shortlisted
    Charles Lewinsky GERRON. Novel. Nagel & Kimche, 2011. Shortlisted for the Swiss Book Prize 2011 «I have learned to live without freedom. Without hope. Why then, damn it, do I find it so hard to live without conscience?» Once he was a star but now he is just a prisoner among a thousand others. And he is determined to prove his talent one last time. As in «Melnitz», Lewinsky reconstructs a slice of contemporary and cultural history by examining the life and chequered career of a vibrant and hopeful man. Although fictitious, the novel’s back- ground is true to life and based on in-depth research; it is the story of the actor Kurt Gerron, who starred in Brecht’s «The Threepenny Opera» and played alongside Marlene Dietrich in «The Blue Angel». Born and raised in Berlin, he was injured on the front line, but went on to achieve great success in cabaret and as a songwriter and become a star of stage and screen. In 1944 he is commissioned to make a film intended to portray the humiliating lives of the Jews imprisoned in Theresienstadt as ‘idyllic’ and ‘humane’. To refuse would mean risk- ing his own life as well as his wife’s. Gerron is a spell-binding novel about the might of conscience and the power of love. In this ingenious, moving and sombre novel, Charles Lewinsky recounts a life story beyond belief, a life caught between success and desperation, between admiration and persecution. Charles Lewinsky was born in 1946 and lives in France and Zurich. He previously worked as a playwright, director and editor.

  • Weimar Cinema
    WEIMAR CULTURE: FILM, ART AND DEATH WEIMAR CINEMA The directors, actors, and films of Weimar-era Germany are among the most famous in cinema history. The new expressionist style they perfected “revolutionized the emerging language of film and established German cinema in the 1920s as a major force of high art in world cinema.”1 Weimar directors wanted to distinguish their work from that which was coming out of Hollywood. Their goal was to harness the artistic potential of film and “to prove to the educated middle class that cinema could indeed be art.”2 Rather than adhere to the Hollywood method, which emphasized narra- tive, suspense, montage, and action, Weimar-era directors opted for atmo- sphere, scene composition, camera movement, and character gaze.3 The efect was the supremacy of the visual: fantastical sets, dramatic lighting, and theatrical gestures. When it worked, such as in Fritz Lang’s M, the re- sults were haunting. The social and political atmosphere of Weimar influenced much of the films’ content. Many followed the attitude of what they called the New Objectivity and directors “ventured out into the streets to capture social reality.”4 They represented the “decadent nightlife, a previously unseen eroticism and unfettered sexuality.”5 These films dealt with the questions and anxieties of a tumultuous post-war era, in which social and cultural life was nursing wounds and breaking new ground, while political life was on the verge of a breakdown. Many of the great names of Weimar cinema – Fritz Lang, F.W. Murnau, Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch, and Josef von Sternberg (to name a few) – fled Nazi Germany.

Loosely based on events that transpired in Theresienstadt concentration camp in the summer of 1944, the screenplay explores themes of documentary bias, the thin line between truth and fiction, heroism and self-sacrifice, and the strength of familial bonds as they are tested in extreme conditions. iii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................... iii Introduction: .................................................................................................................................. 1 Logline: ........................................................................................................................................... 2 Synopsis: .......................................................................................................................................
