Ausgewählte Rezension
One of the last great silent films this is a German movie that is surprisingly short on cinematic expressionism and long on the glamorous, sultry, hypnotic beauty of Louise Brooks. It is her dynamic performance and fallen Goddess looks that makes her, and by attachment Pandora's Box, a wonder to behold.
The thematic sexual content is handled with reverence rather than raunchiness and it is her glorious, giddy, and sincere playful naive nature that is compelling. She not only, just by proximity, seduces any man in close contact, as well as the audience with a childish charm of calming cuteness but unleashes primal desire as well as a protective desire manifested by her magnetism.
The film is long and deeply depressing but it carries us through to her inevitable descent and destruction with so much pathos that it is hard to detach oneself from her destiny and want this obviously playful, not prey-full, soul to live happily ever after. But this is not a fairy-tale and she is not Snow White. This is Greek tragedy.

Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesDespite being replaced by Louise Brooks at the last minute for the role of Lulu in Die Büchse der Pandora (1929), Marlene Dietrich managed to snag another coveted role. Her removal from "Pandora's Box" freed her up to play one of her most iconic roles, Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg's Der blaue Engel (1930).
- PatzerWhile the actual identity of Jack The Ripper may never be known he would've most likely been at least sixty years old if he were still alive in 1929.
The actor playing him is clearly in his early thirties.
- Zitate
Dr. Ludwig Schön: I'm getting married!
Lulu: You won't kiss me just because you're getting married?
