Pandora's Box

Lulu (Louise Brooks) is a young woman who takes what she wants and never thinks about who pays for it. Her easy, unguarded allure draws in Dr. Ludwig Schön (Fritz Kortner) and his son Alwa (Francis Lederer), and G.W. Pabst follows the trouble that comes after. Wedekind's plays supply the story of a woman who is neither calculating nor cruel, only naive, and the desire she stirs in others ruins everyone, herself included.
