"A young prostitute destroys everyone she comes in contact with."@en
"Silent classic film with Louise Brooks playing the tempestuous Lulu, who destroys everyone she comes in contact with, eventually turning to prostitution and a fateful meeting with Jack the Ripper."@en
"A chronicle of the last months of Lulu's life has been extracted from Wedekind's play with more emphasis on thematic and psychological continuity than dramatic unity. Pabst portrays a gallery of characters ranging from the masochistic Schon to the compulsively psychotic Jack the Ripper - and Countess Geschwitz, the screen's first unequivocal lesbian - with psychological acuity. Lulu, guileless and sexually ambiguous, is to Tony Rayns "the literal calm eye of the storm". Further, Brooks's performance is "passive" yet vital, suspended with candour and precision between innocence and childishly fleeting - but intense - emotions. Her emotional vitality and Pabst's unobtrusive cutting on action make Pandora the most "modern" of silent classics."
"A showgirl living in Weimar, Germany manages to captivate all the men around her and this eventually leads to tragedy for the men and for herself."
"Follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone with whom she comes in contact."
"Lulu, the sensual yet untouchable woman, spreads emotional and physical destruction before meeting her own fate at the hands of Jack the Ripper. Pabst used the story to develop two of his favorite themes: the social breakdown of the postwar years, and the exploration of various aspects of female eroticism. (Does not circulate)."
""Louise Brooks playing the tempestuous Lulu. Lulu is a high class prostitute whose incredible beauty and passion for life leaves a trail of broken admirers in her wake.

"Starring the remarkable American silent film actress Louise Brooks, Pandora's Box is the story of Lulu, a femme fatale, who, after leaving a path of destruction in her wake, is murdered by Jack the Ripper. Banned by Hitler, Pabst's silent melodrama captured the laissez faire sexual mores of Weimar Republic Germany. Prostitution, same sex relationships and murder provide the background for an unforgettable performance by Louise Brooks. The 23 year old Brooks broke her contract with Paramount in order to work with Pabst in Germany and Pabst made two films with her before she returned to the United States. Although her performance in Pandora's Box is now considered to be one of the great silent screen performances, Louise Brooks' acting career ended with the advent of sound, (possibly due to her snub of Paramount). Pabst would go on making films until his health failed in 1956."@en

""G.W. Pabst's film that catapulted Louise Brooks to international acclaim and made her 'the' icon of the Jazz Age tells the tragic story of Lulu, the hedonistic dancer and prostitute...In Weimar Germany, Lulu is an entrancing and beautiful free-spirited girl who lives on the beneficences of the men who fall under her powerful yet somehow innocent spell. Her current paramour is the highly-respectable Dr. Schön, but even his handsome son Alwa cannot resist the draw which Lulu exerts. Dr. Schön comes to believe he must marry Lulu, even though he has been engaged to a proper young woman of his own class, when his affair with Lulu becomes public. At their marriage celebration, Schön becomes jealously enraged by her behavior, and tragedy ensues. Although Lulu appears to escape the fate that this tragedy would suggest, her unwitting power over men leads her, and several of the men, in a seemingly inescapable spiral downwards toward destitution and further tragedy."--IMDB."

"One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst's lurid, controversial melodrama Pandora's box. Sensationally modern, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with. Daring and stylish, Pandora's box is one of silent cinema's great masterworks and a testament to Brooks' dazzling individuality."@en
