In G. W. Pabst’s provocative PANDORA'S BOX, Louise Brooks shines as Lulu, a captivating showgirl whose irresistible charm wins hearts even as it sows chaos.

Her allure draws a powerful newspaper publisher, his devoted son, and loyal friends into dangerous entanglements where passion edges toward ruin. Daring and stylish, PANDORA's BOX stands as one of silent cinema’s great masterworks and a testament to Brooks’s dazzling individuality.
