    Imagining a Louise Brooks feature as Lois Lane in Action Comics

    March 15, 2023 / No Comments

    In 1938, Action Comics premiered, introducing readers to the iconic character of Superman. But have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Louise Brooks played Lois Lane in the 1920s? And what if the film had been directed by G.W. Pabst, who was known for his innovative style? It’s a fascinating thought experiment to consider how the portrayal of the character might have differed from the traditional image of Lois Lane.

    The Weimar Era’s Impact on Pabst’s “Pandora’s Box” and “Diary of a Lost Girl” with Louise Brooks

    In the late 1920s, the Weimar Republic in Germany saw a rise in sexual liberation, artistic experimentation, and the questioning of traditional gender roles. It was against this backdrop that G.W. Pabst made his landmark films Pandora’s Box (1929) and Diary of a Lost Girl (1929), both of which starred the American actress Louise Brooks. Pandora’s Box was a critical and commercial success and remains one of the most iconic films of the Weimar Republic era. The film was based on Frank Wedekind’s plays Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box, which explored themes of sexuality, desire, and societal repression. Pabst saw Brooks as the perfect embodiment of Wedekind’s Lulu character, a…

    July 16, 2019 / No Comments

    The great Austrian director G.W. Pabst graced the film world with some of the most thought-provoking movies to hit the silver screen. Some of his most intriguing works featured sophisticated inclusion of the kind of psychoanalytical thought that was prevalent at the time. Here’s what connoisseurs of silent films with a penchant for the intellectual should know about Pabst’s use of figures like Sigmund Freud. We will also visit the influence of Carl Jung in David Lynch’s work. ‘Secrets of the Soul’ There is, perhaps, no other film in Pabst’s portfolio that borrows so heavily from the psychoanalytical thinking of the times than Secrets of the Soul. What Pabst left us within…
