G.W.Pabst's Pandora's Box

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

G.W. Pabst's film is known for its portrayal of a sexually liberated and ultimately doomed woman, Lulu. The film is considered a parable of her destruction as she moves through different social strata in Weimar-era Germany. The film does not directly reference or recreate the myth of Pandora's Box, so option A is incorrect. Option C is also incorrect as the film is primarily concerned with Lulu's story and not that of street-wise profiteers or the middle-class. Option D is also incorrect as the film does not overtly portray capitalism's connection to war.
