Louise Brooks gives a performance of radiant vitality and real depth
as a young woman who suffers at the hands of a grotesque assortment of
men, but refuses – despite everything – to be a victim. Pabst scathingly
depicts the poverty and hypocrisy by which women’s lives are routinely
destroyed. A heady cocktail of lurid eroticism, knockabout humour and
genuine pathos.
With Javier PĂ©rez de Azpeitia score (June 13), with live piano accompaniment (June 15).
The screening on Thursday 13 June will be introduced by film critic Pamela Hutchinson, author of a recent and rather excellent book on Pandora's Box.
