Content:
One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst's lurid, controversial melodrama Pandora's Box. Sensationally modern, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with. Daring and stylish, Pandora's Box is one of silent cinema's great masterworks and a testament to Brooks's dazzling individuality. (Covertext)

Musikfassungen: "Gillian Anderson contributes a traditional orchestral score that is presented in both 2.0 and 5.1 versions. It's quite moving and supports the picture exceptionally well. The other three scores are provided in 2.0 only. One's a Weimar-style 'cabaret orchestra' score by Dimitar Pentchev, which gives an appropriate Jazz Age feel to the proceedings; another a modern score for small orchestra by Peer Raben; and an improvisatory piano score by Stephán Oliva."
