Dishonored (Josef Von Sternberg United States, 1931)

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Introduced by Guy Maddin.

In one of his funniest films, Sternberg cast Marlene Dietrich as an Austrian spy and reinvented World War I as a masquerade. Espionage is merely an excuse for Dietrich’s intrepid Agent X-27 to attend a brilliantly choreo- graphed ball in giant feathered helmet and metallic mini-cape, fly off to the front in a taut leather jumpsuit accompanied by her black pussycat, or pose as a pasty, thick-waisted Russian maid enveloping the enemy in her voluminous skirts. As the Marlenes multiply, X-27’s adversary and lover Victor McLaglen expresses the net effect: “the more you cheat and the more you lie, the more exciting you become.”

Part of the Cinema Mon Amour: Guy Maddin series at the BAM/PFA.

Free gallery admission with same-day film ticket!
