Review of Rose Hobart

Rose Hobart (1936)
2/10
Purple Haze
12 February 2021
Bathing his disjointed valentine to a homegrown, third string Marlene Dietrich in purple and slapping a spicy little rhumba to the soundtrack Joseph Cornell's Rose Hobart can for some beg interpretation, others, be a waste of time.

Rose seems pensive (and naturally alluring) in most of the scenes with a variety of diverse studs in jump cut, her most relaxed moment spent with a monkey. Cornell clearly has a crush on this movie queen of indeterminate title as well. I'm not certain if it is Dada or a spoof on Dada but after two viewings can conclude, a waste of time.
