Country: GER

Director: G.W. Pabst
Cast: Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, Franz Lederer
Synopsis:
The career of a young woman, who is oblivious to her effect on men all the way to her ignominious end.
Review:
Perhaps this film more than any other signals the demise of Weimar, and the decadence associated with 1920s Germany. The very fact that the girl is played by an American star adds a note of exoticism and shock value to the material.
