Available"G.W. Pabst's film that catapaulted Louise Brooks to international acclaim and made her 'the' icon of the Jazz Age tells the tragic story of Lulu. The opening sequences of the film establish Lulu as a femme fatale, in contact with many men. She uses her flamboyance and effervescence to attain what she wants, often at the cost of others and all the while displaying a certain innocence. Lulu leads the primarily male cast through an extensive evasion of the police, ultimately ending up in London where she encounters Jack the Ripper. Silent film with intertitles." Director: G.W. Pabst. Cast: Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, Francis Lederer. Black & White. English subtitles.
