"Now in their 11th year at Wilton's Music Hall, The Lucky Dog Picturehouse present a new score for the film that launched icon of the flapper age Louise Brooks to international stardom. Brooks stars as the effortlessly seductive Lulu, a high class courtesan and dancer who brings destruction to the Berlin bourgeoisie with her turbulent love affairs, both male and female. Heavily censored in its day, G.W. Pabst's 1929 Weimar masterpiece still feels incredibly modern and ranks among The Guardian's top 100 films of all time.
Experience this rare special screening with a brand new piano score, performed live."
We will be in the downstairs bar at Wilton's Music Hall from around 6:30pm for a chat before the film starts. To find us before the film, look for the tavble with David Niven's Bring On The Empty Horses on it. We'll also be sitting at seats J11 & J12 for the show if you want to book tickets to sit with the group.
