Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Film told in flashbacks of an older man's obsession for a woman who can belong to no-one but can frustrate everyone. The backdrop is SternbergÍs surreal and fantastic Carnaval in Spain. In a café the older man details his encounters with the heart breaker that his younger friend has only just met at the parade. Forewarned, the young man swears he will avoid the fate of his friend, but rushes all the same to his evening rendezvous. A dreamlike story of frustrated, lost romance, spoken in the past tense, never really resolved.
Leave your thoughts about The Devil Is a Woman.
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonEven bemused viewers will delight at Dietrich's sublimely ridiculous costumes as well as some of Hollywood's most awe-inspiring imagery. The elusive, unobtainable object of desire has really never been more sumptuously captured. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWhile Devil is a somewhat monotonous picture, Sternberg has given it clever photography and background. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickseems designed to simultaneously emphasize and lampoon Dietrich's smoldering screen persona |
| New York TimesAndre SennwaldThis column regards The Devil Is a Woman as the best product of the Sternberg-Dietrich alliance since The Blue Angel. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe runt of the von Sternberg-Dietrich litter. |
| User ReviewPatty MDietrich plays a duplicitous Spaniard. At this point in the von Sternberg/Dietrich series of collaborations, the Marlene image has been refined by serious angle eliminations and intensified micro-acting. Shots revealing Marlene's concave nose-bridge are gone, giving her a more classical appeal (also in Blond Venus); her high, dominant cheeks and mobile expressive chin replace the more traditional modes of eye-acting and body gesturing. If it had been appropriate, Von Sternberg probably would have had her act with forehead veins and closeups of sudden goosebumps. The acting and detail in this film really help make it clear why cinema makes old acting methods seem ridiculous and new tricks necessary. If it weren't for Von Sternberg's consistency of style, and the lack of a variation that his real peers like Visconti or Dreyer have, he might be the best director on a list of the best. |
| User Reviewmichael cDietrich and Von Sternberg considered The Devil is a Woman to be their best picture. The film is stunning. Of course, Dietrich does that Voodoo that only she can do so well, and Von Sternberg is the Magister Ludi of classical film. This is their masterpiece. The acting is commendably brilliant. The script moves with the pace of a runaway freight train. The emotional tension escalates along a sharply ascending curve - and the film delivers a punch that transforms each and every viewer - revealing more about themselves through the machinations of the main characters tossed on the unpredictable sea of love. Dietrich delivers, perhaps, the greatest screen performance of the decade - and destroys the egos of every other character leaving a wake a mile wide and infinitely deep. Dietrich proves the powers of women over men, time and the planet we currently inhabit. Unmissable. |
| User ReviewAlice SA seductive and ice-hearted Marlene plays with men's hearts but in the end she offers a surprise. How is the title to be read? Until the final scene, it's pretty clear: this woman is the devil himself. But then, there's another one: even the devil (she who seems to be) is only a woman capable of love... who can tell? |
| User ReviewSuellen PExcellent movie! If you are a fashion fan it is a must see! Marlene's costume are breathtaking as is her performance. |
| User ReviewZoran SA great film and strange masterpiece. Sternberg's images and mise-en-scene are so textured and dense that they become overwhelming. |
