The Scarlet Empress

Josef von Sternberg, 1934

Film Description

The classic product of a spectacular visual imagination in an altogether less cynical age, Von Sternberg's gloriously romanticised version of the rise of Catherine the Great - from innocent spring blossom, through maturing manipulator, to imperial sex goddess - represents the pinnacle of his legendary collaborations with Dietrich. Her beauty bathed in adoring light, within a sumptuously ornate surround, the screen itself seems to melt.

Exquisite. Pure liquid cinema which literally has it's own aroma. Don't watch Scarlet Empress, savour it. more >
