Louise ("Lulu") Brooks in Pandora's Box at Heritage House
Thursday, June 28
2 & 7 p.m.
In the film which made her a household name, Cult Goddess Louise
Brooks plays the liberated Lulu, an irresistible vamp whose siren call
lures all around her to their doom in a whirlpool of lust and greed. Far ahead of the tastes of the time, G.W. Pabst's PANDORA'S BOX initially received scathing reviews due to the transgressive sexuality portrayed onscreen. However, for contemporary viewers, Pandora’s Box exudes a smoky sensuality in every frame and is now regarded as a masterpiece.
* 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes
