Diary of a Lost Girl



Tagebuch einer Verlorenen, 1929. A young rape victim is sent away by her family.

Directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst. Written by Rudolf Leonhardt, based on a book by Margarete Böhme. Starring Louise Brooks.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 0/4 (Terrible). It's a little shocking that a Kino DVD would do this badly with such a classic film.
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). Brooks is charming of course, but there really isn't anything else worthwhile in the entire movie. It's about as much fun as you might expect from a movie about rape.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.9/4 (Eh)
