If you loved Marocco, try L'imperatrice Caterina
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Josef von Sternberg, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Marocco, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What L'imperatrice Caterina is
Here's a film that knows its history only in the sense that it happened, allegedly. Catherine arrives in Russia to marry the goofy Grand Duke Peter. She finds herself in a loveless marriage, so Catherine takes lovers and plans a coup. It certainly gives you an idea of what things looked like, if not what they were.
