Sure, you’ve seen the old black and white classics, but have you born witness to “Forbidden Hollywood?”
Kick off your new year right, (and oh, so delightfully wrong) with a cinematic journey into the salacious, controversial, and provocative "pre-code" era of American movies with Josef von Sternberg’s Morocco!
Starring the singularly iconoclastic Marlene Dietrich and the singularly tall and handsome Gary Cooper, this torrid tale of love and lust against the backdrop of colonial conflict defiantly walked on the very edge of acceptability. Its frank representation of sexuality and boundary pushing exploration of gender norms made it a hit with audiences of the 1930s. And, wooing the critics and fellow filmmakers, it’s masterful blending of audio and visual storytelling confidently bridged the gap between the silent and sound eras of filmmaking.
In short, it was and remains an artistic and technical triumph, as bold as it is beautiful. Don’t miss it!
