backtrack; Die Büchse der Pandora (1929)
Surprisingly contemporary appearance by glorious Louise Brooks as scheming flapper. The story tracks the downfall and destruction of our enigmatic femme fatale whose life inevitably goes awry, despite – or maybe because of – her obvious charm, intelligence and talents.
As irresistible as Pandora's box itself, you just have to look! On my list as one of the greatest silents ever.
