You may think you’re cool, but you’ll never be as cool as Marlene Dietrich and Anna May Wong in Josef von Sternberg’s pre-code masterpiece of bad-ass sex workers, rebellion, and love featuring some of the most unbelievable cinematography to come out of the Hollywood studio system. Dietrich is at her most stunning – with exquisite lighting to accentuate that breathtaking bone structure – even as she brings scandal and her fellow courtesan (played by Wong) on a three day train ride through war-torn China. Reunited with a lost love and taken hostage by an evil rebel agent, these ladies flaunt convention and save the day all while serving jaw-dropping looks. If you’re looking for glamor, adventure, romance, and powerful, take no shit women characters, join us to see this epically gorgeous film on the big screen to see every magnificent detail!
