Film: Pandora’s Box

Tickets: $8

1929, directed by G. W. Pabst

The rise and fall of Lulu, a street urchin who becomes a stage performer and marries a powerful editor. Justly famous for its eroticism, psychological tension, and fatalistic atmosphere, this is one of the greatest of all silent films, with memorable performances by Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, and Francis Lederer. Based on Frank Wedekind’s Lulu plays; script by Ladislaus Vajda. Silent; German text with English subtitles. 110 minutes.

Once again, Bard SummerScape is pleased to present all titles on 35mm film (whenever possible). All silent films have live piano accompaniment.
