What critics compared Blonde Venus to
I love how they are able to find in the cinema a set of moral standards � a clip from Freaks demonstrates their sense of camaraderie as much as one from Mouchette demonstrates a sense of moral consequence or Marlene Dietrich�s Blonde Venus song and dance routine keys them into the exoticism of sex.
Some of these moments are inspired, as when Isabelle can-cans with a mop, her dance intercut with footage from the film she's emulating, in this case "Blonde Venus," starring Marlene Dietrich.
