Louise Brooks lights up the screen!

Lulu in widow's veil taking the stand in court. Lulu seducing her stepson. Lulu dancing with her lesbian admirer at her own wedding reception. Oh, and somewhere in there Jack the Ripper comes into the mix.
I would most certainly recommend watching this film. It's a masterpiece.
This particular R2 edition truly brings the film back from the dead/dreadful past cuts and 'restorations'.
Louise Brooks gained immortality mostly in this single film - though it would be almost 30 years until the fact was in any way acknowledged - and Pabst had a big hand in it.
