Special Film Screening: Pandora’s Box

Pandora’s Box  – Not Rated, but with adult situations  – (Germany, 1929) 141 mins. b/w., newly restored!

“There is no Garbo! There is no Dietrich! There is only Louise Brooks!”

So proclaimed the Cinematheque Français in a Brooks’ film retrospective. Directed by German Expressionism master G.W. Pabst. With Pandora’s Box Brooks (American born, in Kansas) achieved screen immortality in Pabst’s sensationally modern melodrama, which follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, but innocent showgirl, Lulu – yes, that Lulu. Pandora’s Box is one of silent cinema’s greatest masterworks and a testament to Brooks’s dazzling individuality. Hosted by Prof. Stephen Ambra and local film impresario Barry Steelman.
