In Reply to: Pabst's "Diary of a Lost Girl." posted by tinear on March 1, 2007 at 05:22:08:
I have the recent Criterion DVD release of the restored Pandora's Box and KINO's Diary of a Lost Girl, restored and released on DVD several years back, that includes previously unseen censored footage. To fairly assess your criticism I'll watch Diary again later today, but one should keep in mind that Germany in the 1920's was in a state of both moral and economic decline and the debauchery/decadence of a brothel may have been perceived more as an escape than as a prison for many young women in less than favorable economic circumstances. One should always try to view classic films in their proper historical context as well as a reflection of the quality of acting and direction.AuPh

Follow Ups
- IMHO, both films are supurb; it's just that Pandora's Box is a somewhat better realized, richer film overall. - Audiophilander 10:08:36 03/01/07 (1)
- Thanks for the slight condescension, though probably not meant - tinear 10:54:26 03/01/07 (0)
