Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
After she is assaulted by her father's friend, a young woman finds herself pregnant and imprisoned in a reform school. This stark film chronicles her descent from a safe middle class home to her life of degradation in a brothel, the death of her child and her tragic marriage.

Notes:
A silent film. The print used for the Kino VHS version was restored by Connaissance du Cinema, Paris 1983.

Reviews:
"...Brooks' looks and performance are so luminous and, by today's standards, so contemporary that her failure to make it in talkies continues to confound..." - 11/30/2001 USA Today, p.8E


"With their remarkable rapport, Brooks and Pabst turned a Victorian tale into a timeless story of hypocrisy forgiven and of good triumphant over evil." - 01/22/2004 Los Angeles Times, p.E19


"[W]holly convincing on screen...thanks to the psychological acuity of Pabst's direction, Brooks' luminous presence and a startlingly frank examination of sexual mores in Weimar Germany..." - 07/01/2007 Sight and Sound, p.85
