EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the iconic film "The Blue Angel" (1930), we are transported back to a time when cinema was in its infancy, yet already pushing boundaries. The enigmatic Emil Jannings takes center stage as he embodies the complex character of Professor Immanuel Rath, a man torn between desire and societal expectations. Jannings' portrayal is nothing short of mesmerizing. With his disheveled beard and peculiar collar, he exudes an air of both weirdness and vulnerability. His haunting gaze seems to penetrate our very souls, leaving us captivated by the depths of his performance. "The Blue Angel" directed by Josef von Sternberg, tells the tale of a respectable professor who becomes infatuated with Lola Lola (played by Marlene Dietrich), a seductive cabaret singer. As Professor Rath's obsession grows, so does his descent into madness and self-destruction. This particular image captures Jannings at his most monstrous yet strangely alluring state. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unconventional forms. The stark contrast between Jannings' appearance and society's expectations challenges viewers to question their own preconceived notions about what it means to be attractive or normal. As we admire this vintage print from the British Film Institute collection, let us reflect on how art has always pushed boundaries throughout history – challenging conventions and inviting us to see beyond surface appearances into the depths of human experience.
