Bohemia, Aug. 27,1885, d. May 30, 1967, is especially identified with the straightforwardportrayal of human degradation, as in two of his greatest films, JoylessStreet (1925) and Pandora's Box (1929). In these he combined realism andsocial commentary, although he was equally adept at working in naturalisticand expressionist genres. Equally well known are Pabst's first soundfilms, the pacifist Westfront 1918 (1930) and Kameradschaft (1931)--whoseappeal to internationalist sentiment displeased the Nazis--and his versionof Brecht and Weill's Dreigroschenoper (Threepenny Opera, 1931). His DonQuixote (1933), made in France, starred the renowned Russian singerChaliapin in his only film role. Following World War II, Pabst made TheTrial (1947) and Ten Days to Die (1955), an account of Hitler's end.   Alert Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
