DIARY OF A LOST GIRL
1929 | G W Pabst | 1hr 50m | PG
Fast moving and at times shocking, Diary of a Lost Girl traces the story of Thymian, played by the mesmerising screen idol Louise Brooks, as her life yoyos between episodes of lightness and innocence, darkness and hope.
Made in Germany at a time of great artistic freedom this gripping film defies convention and confounds expectation, as joy and compassion are found in the most unlikely places. Moments of unexpected comedy include life in a reform school for fallen girls headed by a villainous nun and a modern dance lesson with an incompetent buffoon.
Wurlitza’s soundtrack took over two years to create and includes everything from Bach to Kraftwerk to Leonard Cohen.
Debut performance: Thursday 24th July 2014, Port Eliot Festival.
