Wir konnten dann sogar einen Geburtstagsfilm für Marlene anbringen, diesmal sogar endlich wieder den unter Bildungbsürgern als bedeutsam geltenden (der Bruder des Autors der Romanvorlage erhielt den Literaturnobelpreis!) und besonders wirkungsmächtigen, der aber wenn man ehrlich ist, so weit von The Devil Is A Woman auch nicht weg ist. Für das Männermordende-Vamp-Fach ist Marlenes hier letzmals verwendete Piepsestimme recht ungewöhnlich.

[L'angelo azzurro][Heinrich Mann]

L'angelo azzurro di Heinrich Mann è la storia della sua perdizione, e insieme uno splendido, impietoso affresco della Germania guglielmina, con la sua ipocrisia, la sua morale doppia e contraddittoria

“L’Angelo Azzurro” è il nome del locale di varietà dove si esibisce una licenziosa ballerina di cui si innamora follemente un anziano professore di liceo, odioso e dispotico, strenuo difensore dell’ordine borghese.

der blaue engel: holy shit i was not prepared for how depressing this one was gonna get. like i watched variety and der letze mann so i kinda expected the whole shit gets bad thing but. i dont know. here its just. its the acting in the last thirty minutes or so, after immanuel realises just how much hes thrown away, after he sees his wife is just cheating on him, holy shit. holy shit. he just. i could feel the utter exhaution in him, the depression just seeping from him. and what a strong finale, what a contrast between his former life and the man he's become. re: former life: the scenes set in school felt very authentic and lively. also, i have a soft spot for prankster schoolboy types. i tend to hate them irl but in media they usually give me most fun. but generally the mise-en-scene was enchanting, with its angles and light. appealing from the first scene. uhh watching him so desperately in love was downright embarrasing, i had to just. take a moment each time. lola lola was obviously charming, i considered it a great performance. i think the film had some clever things in it, like burning the calendar pages with a hair curler, that really satisfied me. overall, great movie. nothing better than a mental breakdown to finish a tiring day.

If Lola from “Lola” and Lola the showgirl from “Copacabana” were the same person, that is one wild life story
