Anatahan is the last fiercely independent gesture of the cinema's most uncompromising visionary. Von Sternberg narrates this true story of 12 Japanese sailors who, isolated on a jungle island, continue to believe for years that the war is not yet over. When a girl appears on the island, Anatahan becomes the spectacle of man's dignity and honor crumbling before the assault of desire. With Akemi Negishi, Tadashi Suganuma. In Japanese and English with French subtitles.

The Shanghai Gesture has been called "a delirious melodrama of decadence and sexual guilt that uses its Oriental motifs as a cipher for all that is unknown and unknowable. The battle is waged between a Western hypocrite (Walter Huston) and an Eastern pleasure-queen (Ona Munson); the erotic skirmishes occur between the self-willed but helpless heroine (Gene Tierney) and the apathetic object of her passion (Victor Mature, amazing `Doctor of Nothing,' poet of Shanghai and Gomorrha); the chief arena is a casino built like a circle of hell, where nothing is left to chance. Subversive cinema at its most sublime" (Tony Rayns, London Time Out). Josef von Sternberg---USA---1941---97 mins.
