Loulou (aka Pandora's Box) airs on French television tonight

Loulou (aka Pandora's Box) will be shown on French television tonight at 8:50 pm on the Ciné+ Classic station. An article in L'Obs describes the film as "One of the most legendary films in the history of cinema." The article goes on to state (in translation) "Louise Brooks, who plays the main role, has become the very symbol of evil beauty, devastating sexuality and, thanks to her (unusual) physique, the most toxic passion." The L'Obs article, « Loulou », naissance d’une femme fatale, can be found HERE. 

Curiously, the article describes Brooks hairstyle as a "pixie haircut," and also claims that the Nazi's "burned" the film. I think they might mean censored. Here is an old French advert for the film.

If you don't live in France or can't catch the film on television, take note that the film will released on Blu-ray in the UK at the end of the month. This forthcoming release is part of the Masters of Cinema series from Eureka. More information can be found HERE.
