DIARY OF A LOST GIRL (Germany, 1929) "silent" B/W 100m dir: G.W. Pabst

w/Louise Brooks, Fritz Rasp, Josef Ravensky, Sybille Schmitz

Brooks' radiant screen presence illuminates this tragic tale of a wayward young woman who suffers various indignities after losing her virtue to a lecherous pharmacist. Memorable, including the brilliantly implied decadence of the sequences set in the "school for wayward girls."
