Pandora's Box, the silent classic that caused a scandal on its 1929 release, stars Louise Brooks in the most memorable role of her career. Lulu is a high class prostitute whose incredible beauty and passion for life leaves a trail of broken admirers in her wake. She effortlessly gets what she wants as she discards one lover for the next but events soon begin to spiral out of her control. Beyond the iconic black bob and porcelain skin, Louise Brooks radiated sexuality with an unparalleled subtlety of expression and gesture. In Pandora's Box she gives her most captivating and erotically charged performance and displays a smouldering screen presence that has never been equalled.

Special Bonus Feature: Looking For Lulu. Narrated by Shirley MacLaine, this critically acclaimed documentary features rare film footage and photographs, interviews with friends, relatives and acting colleagues, as well as a fascinating interview with Brooks herself recorded in 1976. Looking For Lulu is a unique insight into one of the screen's greatest legends.
