One of essentially the most expressive, luminous performances in all of silent cinema is that of Louise Brooks in G. W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box. Now, thanks to a new restoration, audiences may have a likelihood to rediscover the 1929 masterpiece. Forward of a theatrical launch starting at Movie Discussion board on Valentine’s Day, Janus Movies has unveiled the brand new trailer and poster for the restoration.
Right here’s the synopsis: “One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate expertise for discovering actresses (together with Greta Garbo). And maybe none of his feminine stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld lady Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was outlined by Pabst’s lurid, controversial melodrama Pandora’s Box. Sensationally fashionable, the movie follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, but harmless showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating impact on everybody she is available in contact with. Daring and classy, Pandora’s Box is one of silent cinema’s nice masterworks and a testomony to Brooks’s dazzling individuality. “
Restored from the perfect surviving 35mm parts at Haghefilm Conservation below the supervision of the Deutsche Kinemathek, with the cooperation of George Eastman Museum, and the collaboration of the Cinémathèque Française, Cineteca di Bologna, Czech Movie Archive, and Gosfilmofond. Introduced with help from the R.G. Rifkind Basis Endowment for Queer Cinema.
