Diary of a Lost Girl (1929)
(Tagebuch einer Verlorenen)
Country: GER
Technical: bw 110m silent
Director: G.W. Pabst
Cast: Louise Brooks, André Roanne, Josef Rovensky
Synopsis:
A pharmacist's daughter is raped, falls pregnant, but refuses to marry her aggressor and is sent to a reformatory. Her troubles do not end there.
Review:
Brooks made this with Pabst straight after Pandora's Box, and it will be surmised that the director saw her as embodying the same doomed sensuality, a girl who cannot but attract men and be mistreated by them. The comment on the time is inescapable: where are the good sorts in this society who might succour her?
