This DVD is a must-see for fans of Louise Brooks, though it is hardly among her best. Part of the problem is the story, which gives her precious few opportunities to shine.
The story revolves around rape, prostitution and similar themes. Not suitable for children, though you'd never get them to sit through it. This is a morality tale with precious little morality, underlined by bleak, stagey sets and lighting. And after a relentlessly depressing story line, the ending seems contrived. Though the viewer develops no empathy for the characters, there are still moments of great acting.
The DVD version is crisp, though there are obvious losses in the film in some sections. For those unfamiliar with Louise Brooks' work, it might be better to start with her amazing performance in "Pandora's Box."
