https://msfilmfestival.fi/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pandoran-lipas-scaled.jpg25601668Pandora's Box was not a sensation upon its initial release. The film, based on two plays by Frank Wedekind, was only properly rediscovered in the 1950s. Directed by G.W. Pabst and representing the genre of ”street films” and sinful salon dramas, it may lose out in visual virtuosity to the wilder visions of contemporaries Lang, Murnau or von Sternberg, but its decadent plot twists captivate even the modern viewer in its enjoyably gruesome and depraved grip.
