PANDORA'S BOX (1928)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A stunning portrayal of innocent and erotic obsession based on Wede-kind's 'Lulu' plays. Lulu's guilelessly provocative sexuality leads her from a gaggle of Berlin lovers and admirers, a lesbian countess, a newspaper editor, the latter's son, etc, to a squalid garret in London, where she finds her Thanatos in the shape of Jack the Ripper. Louise Brooks's legendary performance and Pabst's brilliantly acute direction both remain enthralling. Haunting and unforgettable, a superbly atmospheric film.
