Trailer
Thymian is the spoiled young daughter of a successful pharmacist. One day, her governess Elizabeth runs away, just to be found dead soon after. When she discovers the reason behind the escape, she seeks solace in the arms of opportunistic Meinert, who gets her pregnant. But Thymian refuses to marry the father of the child, which prompts the family to send her to a reform school. Controversial and sexy, the film marks the second teaming of G.W. Pabst and star Louise Brooks, right after the success of Pandora’s Box. Restored version.
G.W. Pabst
Born in Bohemia, in 1885. He started his career as an actor and began directing plays when he was 27. In Berlin, he begins his film career with Der Schatz (1923). In a short period of time he was known as one of the most prominent figures in German cinema. Among his works, highlights include Pandora’s Box, Diary of a Lost Girl (both in 1929), starring Louise Brooks, and The Threepenny Opera (1931), based on Bertolt Brecht’s play.
