Lulu (1978)
Directed by Ronald Chase
Overview
This highly stylized, critically acclaimed film from the 70’s mixes silent film cards, a soundscape, color, opera music and atmosphere to explore the Freudian truths about men’s fear of women that Wedekind powerfully exposed. A kinetic melodrama of the rise of a femme-fatale and her fate at the hands of Jack-the-Ripper. Rethinking Pabst’s silent film and Alban Berg’s opera.
