DIARY OF A LOST GIRL [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1929
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: Newly Remasterd with Additional Footage; ; Diary of a Lost Girl represents the second and final work of one of the cinema's most compelling collaborations: G.W. Pabst and Louise Brooks. ; ; Together with Pandora's Box (1928), Diary confirmed Pabst's artistry as one of the great directors of the silent period and established Brooks as an 'actress of brilliance, a luminescent personality and a beauty unparalleled in screen history' (Kevin Brownlow, The Parade's Gone By).; ; Brooks, in a delicately restrained performance, plays the naive daughter of a prosperous pharmacist. ; ; Shy and faunlike, the wide-eyed innocent is made pregnant by her father's young assistant. To preserve family honor, she is sent to a repressive reform school from which she eventually escapes. ; ; Penniless and homeless, she is directed to a brothel where she becomes liberated and lives for the moment with radiant physical abandon.; ; This Kino on Video version of Diary of a Lost Girl has been mastered from a new restoration of the film made by a group of European archives (see insert card) which adds approximately nine minutes of previously censored footage never seen in the United States. ; ; An evocative new score has been added by Joseph Turrin.
