Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray Ewald André Dupont's film Varieté a.k.a. Jealousy (1925), starring Emil Jannings, Maly Delschaft, Lya De Putti, Warwick Ward, and Alice Hechy. The release, which will be part of the Kino Classics line, will be available for purchase on August 22.
Synopsis: A key work of German silent cinema and an international smash on its release, E. A. Dupont's Varieté (Variety) is an audacious revenge melodrama set under the canvas of the big top.
When Boss Huller (the iconic Emil Jannings) meets the young émigré Berta-Marie (Lya De Putti), it kindles his desire to relaunch his career as a trapeze artist, stalled due to an injury and the pressures of domestic life. But with passion comes obsession, and with the involvement of the famed Artinelli into their act, tensions rise to a fever pitch.
