One of the great silent films, GW Pabst's Pandora's Box is renowned for its sensational storyline, Weimar-period setting and its bewitching lead performance by iconic star Louise Brooks. Following the rise and fall of Lulu (Brooks), a spirited, but innocent showgirl, whose sexual magnetism wreaks havoc on men and women alike, Pandora's Box - imbued with a singular eroticism - was controversial in its day and subsequently underappreciated for decads but now feels dazzingly modern. This is a fantastic opportunity to see one of the cornerstones of silent film on screen.

Darius Battiwalla will accompany the film on the piano. The film is being screened from a 35mm print via our Vic 5 projector.

The event will begin with a short introduction by Keith Withall.
