Of all the Weimar films I've seen, this is the Weimariest, with a total disdain for bourgeois morality and every character looking like a Grosz drawing.

Oh man this film is great! The story telling is subtle and the moral implications are grand. This has some of the most memorable sequences I've had the pleasure witnessed. The movie might be a bit slow for some, but I personally enjoyed the pace of it. I can't wait to see pandora's box!

Not really fish nor fowl. None of Pabst's usual psychological exploration or Brecht's Epic Theater staging and virtually all of Weill's songs are missing. Not my favorite Pabst film by a long shot although I think much of the political criticism of the picture is unfounded. This is a very caustic, cynical, left leaning film with only the thinnest veneer of bourgeois romantic trappings.

Fascinating scene when the Queen is confronted by the faces of poverty.
