Pabst’s immortal film
version of the Frank Wedekind play gave us one of the most enduring
presences in cinema. “Is the movie’s resident Pandora, Louise Brooks,
inside the character of Lulu or is Lulu inside her?” wrote J. Hoberman
in The Village Voice. As Brooks herself put it to Kenneth Tynan,
“It was clever of Pabst to know even before he met me that I possessed
the tramp essence of Lulu.” Lulu, in Hoberman’s words, was a “new kind
of femme fatale—generous, manipulative, heedless, blank, democratic in
her affections, ambiguous in her sexuality.” She has inspired countless
helmet-haired imitators, but she still reigns supreme. Featuring the
world premiere of a new orchestral score composed and conducted by
Jonathan Ragonese performed live. A Janus Films release.
