Heritage House, 1428 Jenkins Road in Chattanoooga, Tennessee will show the 1929 Louise Brooks film, Pandora's Box, on Thursday, June 28. There will be two showings, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. There is no cost and light refreshments will be provided.

The Chattanooogan newspaper ran a short piece, describing the film as such:

In the film which made her a household name, Cult Goddess Louise Brooks plays the liberated Lulu, an irresistible vamp whose siren call lures all around her to their doom in a whirlpool of lust and greed.

Far ahead of the tastes of the time, the film initially received scathing reviews due to the transgressive sexuality portrayed onscreen.

However, for contemporary viewers, Pandora’s Box exudes a smoky sensuality in every frame and is now regarded as a masterpiece. Boasting a 90 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and presented in German with English subtitles.
