Alec B A romance that is almost never romantic. Even the ending, which involves a grand gesture feels more sad than anything else. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Louisa E Wow! The cinematography was so beautiful in this film. The acting was brilliant. The costumes and sets were gorgeous. The only negative to this movie is that there were some slow points of the film but overall, this is an amazing movie. I was haunted by the last scenes. I knew the ending was coming but the way they did it took my breath away. The gun scenes were so tense. The first quarter and last quarter of this movie were sublime; if the other half through the middle had the same punch, this would have been my favourite movie of the year. So it's my second favourite by a gnat. This one will stick with me. Loved it. 8.1/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review brad h A very boring, dole and slow movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is about a cabaret singer, Amy Jolly (Dietrich), and a Legionnaire (Cooper) who fall in love during the Rif War in Spain and Morocco in the early 1920s. Their relationship is complicated due to his womanizing and the appearance of a rich man who is also in love with her. The film is famous for a scene featuring Dietrich in a man's top hat and tailcoat kissing another woman both of which were highly scandalous for the time. There is a lot to the film, especially a study of the different forms of masculinity as represented by Gary Cooper's Tom Brown, Adolphe Menjou's La Bessière, and Dietrich's character herself. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful scenery ruined by a terribly dull and unbelievable story. Woman comes to morocco to be a performer. Falls in love with a soldier who's a bland womanizer in one conversation. Leaves him for a millionaire who she also knows nothing about. In stark contrast to her speech about strong women. Then leaves in the desert for a man she just met. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is famous for a scene in which Dietrich performs a song dressed in a man's tailcoat and kisses another woman, both of which were scandalous for the time. Sternberg was the first director to attain full mastery and control over what was essentially a new medium by restoring fluidity and beauty of the late silent period. One of the key elements in this was his understanding of the value of silence. Morocco contains long sections sustained only by its stunning visual beauty augmented with appropriate music and aural effects. The interchange of masculine and feminine characteristics was groundbreaking at the time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
