G. W. Pabst’s sensationally modern and
controversial melodrama, Pandora’s Box, defined the legendary persona of
star Louise Brooks, solidifying her as ‘the' icon of the Jazz Age, and
propelling her to international acclaim. The film, from one of the masters of
early German cinema, follows the downward spiral of the brash, yet innocent
showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she
meets. Daring and stylish, Pandora's Box is one of silent cinema's great
masterworks and a testament to Brooks' dazzling individuality. (1929, 133 mins)
