Louise Brooks is like a beautiful alien. I've never seen an actress look so other-worldly in motion. Also, the scene with the headmistress practically orgasming while directing the girls to do calisthenics is probably one of the most successful combinations of humor and perversity I've seen in a film (whether or not that was intentional, I don't know).

I saw this when I was a freshman in high school, and it prompted a totally weird adolescent phase in my life during which I dressed in faux-vintage 1920s outfits for several months and carved a Louise Brooks face into a pumpkin for Halloween.

Incredible how Louise Brooks looks innocent throughout the whole movie even during the sleaziest scenes. Incredible how some of the actors look so modern that they seem to have just popped out of a TV show. Incredible how the 104 minutes of the film pass so quickly while I have to look at the clock every 30 minutes or so when I watch a modern-day movie. Masterpiece.

Interesting, the version I saw, from Kino International, was 116 minutes in length.
