Pandoras Legacy

G.W. Pabst is one of the greatest filmmakers of Weimar-era cinema, and his films like “The Joyless Street” and “Pandora's Box” continue to captivate audiences today. Angela Christlieb's multifaceted film not only follows the biographical and artistic traces of the filmmaker, but also highlights the important role his wife Trude played in his work and the impact his actions and legacy had on subsequent generations. A work that skillfully intertwines film and historical context, biography, and the question of emotional inheritance. (Joachim Kurz)
