Full Plot Details

Germany 1924. Middle aged Dr. Immanuel Rath is a stuffy literature professor at a boys' school. Most of his students don't much like him, often ridiculing him by sending him unflattering anonymous notes and drawings. Dr. Rath learns that many of his boys often frequent a cabaret called the Blue Angel, which he believes is corrupting their impressionable young minds. He heads to the Blue Angel himself to catch the boys in the act, shame them into not going again, but also to ask the headlining performer, anglophone Lola Lola, to cease and desist performing her show. Over several visits, Rath is able to catch the boys, but he himself starts to fall for Lola, and she seemingly with him. His infatuation with her threatens his teaching career. Their relationship ends up not being what either envisioned, the question being how they will both deal with their disintegrating relationship and the reasons behind that disintegration.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittThis great masterpiece of German film is evocative and inventive from its first shot to its last.
New Times (L.A.) - 10/10 by Andy KleinThis film made Dietrich a star, and it's easy to see why: Slightly more voluptuous than in her later films, Dietrich is the embodiment of the pleasures of the flesh.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Stephen HunterThe Blue Angel it's clear to Von Sternberg, and to us, that he's connected with some pure being of cinema, whose power to ignite an audience was unstoppable. She became a great star.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 10/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffBesides discovering Dietrich, von Sternberg created one of the few early sound films to retain the bravura cinema of the late silent era.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Don DrukerThe first film collaboration between Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich, this reeks with decay and sexuality.
culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Les WrightA seminal film... a cinéaste's delight. For all time.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertLumbers a little on its way to a preordained conclusion, but is intriguing for its glimpses of backstage life in shabby German postwar vaudeville, and for Dietrich's performance, which seems to float above the action as if she's stepping fastidiously across gutters.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Kim NewmanA remarkable performance from Emil Jannings.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Michael AtkinsonDietrich is the movie's primary cannon: Her amused eyes, open face, and relaxed sensuality monopolize our sympathies.
Christianity Today - 8/10 by Kenneth R. MorefieldThe classic tale of amour fou still holds up over eighty years later.
