Description: Thymiane – naive, raped assistant to the father of the girl’s parents hidden away in the approved school. After many tests she is happily married, but the mark of the fallen and memories give her a good life.
Cinema Diary of a Lost Girl returns us to combining art, buried since the Greek theatre, where the whole country was placed on the stairs of the thirty thousand seats and listened to the tragedy. The vast majority of farmers, fishermen, soldiers who were regulars antique representations do not prevent the creation of great works.
Childhood. And unwavering faith in miracles, which still lives in the old, repeatedly pledged pharmacy. Exactly in this place will be the beginning of another surprising and somewhat sad story. Very soon Thyme will get a good, small diary, that will be for her constant companion, the Keeper of the few pleasures and so many sorrows. Random pregnancy and a companion to her shame. Confusion among smug Rodney and unfortunate decision to send in prison. Reality.
Georg Wilhelm Pabst in due time entered correctly. Based on a play Margaret Boehme, that despite the huge popularity time with biography notes of one-day tabloid sensationalism, fit perfectly to the Creator of «Pandora’s box» and «Joyless street. The finishing touch on the old canvas made already experienced hand and bright colors. Louise Brooks, that very soon sink into Oblivion together with their few, but such beautiful images. Yes and the phenomenon of silent films that will Deplete artifact, relic and toy time after 10 years, after the epilogue for the adventure of Thyme.
Riot in prison and a new Chapter in the diary of a fallen girl. Now it’s really a public house with aristocrats, sly mistress and fun seller sausages. Pabst jokes and that’s good, because only Comedy can show numerous shades of drama Thyme and count Oxford – character second plan that sometimes it pulls the sheet total attention to my modest person. The film is simple, open to the viewer and at times is reminiscent of the classic novel, stuck between the work Daphne and tales of James Barrie. The villains never repent, and the characters never surrender. Is this bad? On the contrary, precisely because of these fabulous allusions film appears to be a living, breathing in full Breasts brainchild of a man, which after 80 years, you can see and feel the pain Brooks and naivety of Roanne. See the seamy side of the world without manipulative arrogance, pomposity so peculiar to the films of this era – the youth cinema.
All will be well. Or not? Perhaps, one can hope that there will be, even if you listen to the last words of Thyme within its first diary. The old man, uncle Oxford in the end said that it is necessary only love cure for the lost, ruined the life of a light shower. Corny? Of course it is banal, but as truthful and sincere about his words. And this whole movie…

This is not your normal WIP fare: no blood, no aliens, no boobies. Just a silent melodrama from Weimar Germany. But if you enjoy quality filmmaking, fine acting, meticulous camera work and set design, give this a look. From the screenshots this appears to be the latest version which contains footage unavailable before (particularly the stupid sequence with Sig Arno and the Dr. Vitelius story), most of which do nothing but disturb the flow of the narrative and should stayed edited out.
