City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1BZBtu0 Diary of a Lost Girl (1929) Director: G. W. Pabst with Louise Brooks, Fritz Rasp A luminous Louise Brooks presents a striking performance as Thymian; a young innocent woman betrayed by society's hypocrisy, her family and the men and women she encounters. Seduced by her father's employee & then rejected after giving birth to an illegitimate child, she is sent to a sadistic reform school under the perverted eye of the headmistress. Eventually she escapes to find a safer refuge in a high class brothel. Like Pandora's Box, this film was viciously attacked by the press and censors. This film was never released in North America.
