I watched the movie Blue Angel today. Marlene Dietrich and Emil Jannings are pretty incredible. The movie is totally horrifying and touching and human and sad. I almost turned it off a couple of times because it seemed like a Bergman film, and I was simply not in the mood for the kind of symbolic darkness that seemed in store.
Well, of course, it was dark and it did have symbolism. But it was really amazing. I suggest watching it. But perhaps it would be best if you're in a cheery resiliant mood.
