Entertainment Reviews:

USA Today - 11/30/2001

"...Brooks' looks and performance are so luminous and, by today's standards, so contemporary that her failure to make it in talkies continues to confound..."

Los Angeles Times - 01/22/2004

"With their remarkable rapport, Brooks and Pabst turned a Victorian tale into a timeless story of hypocrisy forgiven and of good triumphant over evil."

Sight and Sound - 07/01/2007

"[W]holly convincing on screen...thanks to the psychological acuity of Pabst's direction, Brooks' luminous presence and a startlingly frank examination of sexual mores in Weimar Germany..."

Product Description:

The final collaboration, following PANDORA'S BOX, between G.W. Pabst and Louise Brooks, the American silent film star whose look defined the Jazz Age, DIARY OF A LOST GIRL is a similarly lurid tale of a young woman's life. Brooks stars as Thymiane, a young girl life whose life collapses when she is raped and made pregnant by her father's young assistant. After a reform school escape she ends up in a brothel, which, ironically, leads her to a salvation of sorts. Silent film with piano and jazz ensemble score.

Plot Synopsis:

After she is assaulted by her father's friend, a young woman finds herself pregnant and imprisoned in a reform school. This stark film chronicles her descent from a safe middle class home to her life of degradation in a brothel, the death of her child and her tragic marriage.
