In the 1929 film Pandora’s Box, who directed the story of Lulu?

G. W. Pabst directed the 1929 film Pandora’s Box, which tells the story of Lulu.

The German silent film was directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst and stars Louise Brooks as Lulu, a charismatic woman whose relationships lead to scandal and tragedy. Its German title is Die Büchse der Pandora, a direct reference to the classical myth and its theme of destructive consequences.

The film was adapted from two plays by German dramatist Frank Wedekind: Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box. Pabst’s production became associated with the late silent-film era and is now widely regarded as one of the major films of German cinema.

The movie is often confused with later films that use the Pandora name only metaphorically. This production is specifically a 1929 German-Austrian silent film, and its director was G. W. Pabst, also known as Georg Wilhelm Pabst.
