Diary of a Lost Girl (Tagebuch einer Verlorenen), Germany, 1929, dir. G. W. Pabst, Silent, B&W, 110 min. Presented in ARH 302, Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday, 2 p.m.
Based on the novel by Margarete Boehme, published originally in 1905 as a response to prostitution in Germany. A young woman of the middle class, Thymiane (Louise Brooks) becomes pregnant, is forced to part with her child, and is sent to a reformatory. She escapes to a brothel, propelled by the same double standard that began her trials. The story, updated from its original publication to the 1920's, provides a commentary on class and gender in Germany between the wars.
Pabst came to directing by way of acting and script writing. Along with Fritz Lang and F. W. Murnau, he is considered one of the major propo nents of German Expressionism. Diary of a Lost Girl is the second of
Pabst's collaborations with Louise Brooks (the first was Pandora's Box in 1928). These two films are considered by many to be the best work of these two gifted artists.
