Two of Louise Brooks' best films, Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl, will be shown at the Nickel in London on November 11. The Nickel -- a "fully licensed grindhouse cinema, bar and video shop" -- is located in London at 117-119 Clerkenwell Road. More information about this double bill can be found HERE.
The two films are being presented by Women and Cocaine. The event descriptions read this way:
Diary of a Lost Girl: "Thymian Henning, an innocent young girl, is raped by the clerk of her father’s pharmacy. She becomes pregnant, is rejected by her family, and must fend for herself in a harsh, cruel world." (6:00 pm showtime, tickets)
Pandora's Box: "Lulu is a young woman so beautiful and alluring that few can resist her siren charms. The men drawn into her web include respectable newspaper publisher Dr. Ludwig Schön, his musical producer son Alwa, circus performer Rodrigo Quast, and seedy old Schigolch. When Lulu’s charms inevitably lead to tragedy, the downward spiral encompasses them all." (8:30 showtime, tickets)

Surprisingly, it's a bit unusual for the two Louise Brooks' films directed by G.W. Pabst to be shown as part of a double bill.
