Rating:  - Actually Pabst's best vehicle for the lovely Louise
This film, made after the highly provacative "Pandora's Box" is somehow sweeter, more tranquile and contemplative in its depiction of a young girl who's lost herself down the wrong tracks.

But she never loses her belief in her own moral strength and superiority and is ultimately trimuphiant.
