Pamela Hutchinson broke the news yesterday on her excellent Silent London blog ....... (in what can only be described as an unusual event), the British Film Institute has announced that the 1929 Louise Brooks film, Pandora's Box, will be given a theatrical re-release in the UK. According to the BFI website, "Screenings across the UK to be confirmed at a later date. In cinemas 1 June 2018." The particular version of the film which will be shown is a new 2K DCP of Munich Film Museum’s definitive 1997 restoration, with an orchestra score Peer Raben.
According to the BFI website, "One of the great silent films, GW Pabst’s Pandora’s Box is renowned for its sensational storyline, sparkling Weimar-period setting and the legendary, lead performance from its iconic star Louise Brooks. Following the rise and fall of Lulu (Brooks), a spirited but innocent showgirl whose sheer sexual magnetism wreaks havoc on the lives of men and women alike, the film was controversial in its day, then underappreciated for decades. Pandora’s Box now stands as an incredibly modern movie, and few stars of any era dazzle as bright as Louise Brooks."
