Louise Brooks, i giudizi della critica inglese, belga, spagnola e portoghese (1926-1955)


*GRAN BRETAGNA*

*A SOCIAL CELEBRITY*

1.	*Anonimo, Reviews of the week, "Kinematograph Weekly", August 19, 1926* "Louise Brooks more than justifies her promotion, her appeal of face and form being allied to real personality which promises to develop"

*THE SHOW OFF*

1.	*Anonimo, Reviews of the week, "Kinematograph Weekly", November 4, 1926* "Louise Brooks is good as the son's fiancee"

*IT'S THE OLD ARMY GAME*

1.	*Anonimo, Reviews of the week, "Kinematograph Weekly", November 11, 1926* "Louise Brooks, a modern looking damsel, appeals as the heroine"

*LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM*

1.	*Anonimo, Love' em and leave 'em, "Kinematograph Weekly", March 24, 1927* "Louise Brooks in the easier role of vamp does well"
2.	*Anonimo, Love' em and leave 'em, "The Bioscope", March 24, 1927* "(...) while the minx of a sister is quite well played by Louise Brooks"
3.	*C. A. L., The week on the screen, "Manchester Guardian", November 3, 1927* "It has the advantage, beyond its generic qualities, of introducing picturegoers to Louise Brooks, a young Paramount 'discovery' who is certainly going to be a star one day"

*JUST ANOTHER BLONDE*

1.	*Anonimo, Just another blonde, "The Bioscope", April 7, 1927* "Dorothy Mackaill and Louise Brooks both splendidly represent Blondie and Blackie respectively, the latter being a very coquettish girl who is a capital foil to the other"
2.	*Anonimo, Just another blonde, "Kinematograph Weekly", April 7, 1927* "Louise Brooks as Diana, and William Collier, jun., as Scotty, also do good work"

*EVENING CLOTHES*

1.	*Anonimo, Evening clothes, "The Bioscope", May 19, 1927* "Virginia Valli plays Germaine with great charm and Louise Brooks is so alluring that one refuses to believe that she is really a rather naughty little girl"

*NOW WE'RE IN THE AIR*

1.	*Anonimo, Now we're in the air, "The Bioscope", January 26, 1928* "The support is excellent in all cases. Louise Brooks plays the twin girls, but has few opportunities"
2.	*Lionel Collier, Now we're in the air, "Kinematograph Weekly", January 29, 1928* "Louise Brooks is, of course, charming in the dual role of the twins"

*ROLLED STOCKINGS*

1.	Anonimo, Rolled stockings, "Kinematograph Weekly", September 8, 1927 "Louise Brooks acts like a demure Clara Bow and gives a very promising performance, that does not suffer from immaturity"
2.	*C. A. L., The week on the screen, "Manchester Guardian", March 10, 1928* *" ... and a smart American comedy, Rolled Stockings, with Miss Louise Brooks and others of Paramount's younger set"*

*THE CITY GONE WILD*

1.	*Lionel Collier, The city gone wild, "Kinematograph Weekly", February 9, 1928* "Marietta Millner fulfils the latter role moderately well, a better rendering of an easier part of vamp being given with some distinction by Louise Brooks"

*A GIRL IN EVERY PORT*

1.	Lionel Collier, "Kinematograph Weekly", March 15, 1928 "Louise Brooks made a charming heartless vamp"

*BEGGARS OF LIFE*

1.	*Anonimo, Beggars of life (Paramount), "Kinematograph Weekly", September 6, 1928* "Louise Brooks has the only femine role in the picture, and this graceful girl steps out in Beggars of life in one of the biggest roles of her screen career"
2.	*Anonimo, Beggars of life, "The Bioscope", September 12, 1928* "Louise Brooks plays a difficult part with distinction and Richard Arlen is extremely good as her tramp lover"
3.	*Lionel Collier, Beggars of life, "Kinematograph Weekly", September 13, 1928* "Louise Brooks is admirable as the girl"

*THE CANARY MURDER CASE*

1.	*Anonimo, The Canary murder case, "The Bioscope", January 16, 1929* "Louise Brooks, in the brief impersonation of the covetous 'Canary,' gives a fine study of a heartless woman"
2.	*Anonimo, The Canary murder case, "Kinematograph Weekly", January 17, 1929* "The cast, which includes William Powell, Louise Brooks, Gustav von Seyffertitz, John Bartels and Ned Sparks, is so good that it is impossible to individualize, for it is essentially a case of excellent team work"

*DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA*

1.	*Jean Lenauer, Letter to an unknown, "Close Up", June 1929* "Louise Brooks is not chosen because she is Louise Brooks but because, for whatever reason, she looks likely to find it easier than anyone else might, to sink into and become a visual expression of Lulu in Pandora's box. Or so it appears to Pabst"
2.	*Anonimo, Pandora's box, "The Bioscope", April 16, 1930* "Louise Brooks does all that is possible in the role of Lulu. Her performance, combined with the masterful characterisation of the wealthy man by Fritz Kortner, makes the early scenes definitely dramatic and effective"

*BELGIO*

*THE SHOW OFF*

1.	Carl Vincent, Moi …, "L’Indépendance Belge", December 14, 1927 - The show off "Louise Brooks, Lois Wilson, Gregory Killey l’entourent. L’une et l’autre jouent avec beaucoup d’aisance et de naturel"

*DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA*

1.	*Carl Vincent, Loulou o Le boîte de Pandore, "L'Indépendance Belge", 12 Avril 1929* "C’est Louise Brooks qui encarne Loulou. On a vu, il y a quelques semaines, dans Une fille dans chaque port, de Howard Hawks, de quoi était capable cette belle artiste. Le rôle qu’elle tenait dans l’oeuvre de Hawks et celui qu’elle remplit dans le film de Pabst ont certaines affinités. Mais la jeune Américaine, que les studios d’Europe s’efforcent de conserver, montre ici plus d’assurance et d’expression. Pandore moderne, le drame suit son sillage sans qu’elle semble s’en apercevoir"

*PRIX DE BEAUTÉ*

1.	*Carl Vincent, Prix de beauté, "L'Indépendance Belge", 13 Juin 1930* "C’est Louise Brooks qui interprète le rôle de Lucienne. Elle le fait avec intelligence et le talent dont elle a fait preuve à traverse plus d’un film américain et plus recemment dans deux oeuvres de Pabst: Loulou et Trois pages d’un journal"

*SPAGNA*

*PRIX DE BEAUTÉ*

1.	Anonimo, "Popular Film", 18 de Giugno 1931 "Dos escenas de Premio de belleza, el film ablado en francés con fragmentos y canciones en español, del programa Gaumont, estrenado con buen éxito en el elegante cinema Fantasio. Los principales intérpretes de Premio de belleza, son la gentil y bonita Louise Brooks y el excente galán George Charlia. La realización es de Augusto Genina"

*DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA*

1.	*Carlos Fernandez Cuenca, in Id., Historia del cine, III, Afrodisio Aguado, 1950* "(...) guapa Louise Brooks siempre peinada con su peculiar flequillo negro que le daba un aire perennamente infantil (...) rafinadamente perversa y divorada por la pasión sexual que destruye cuantas vidas la rodean concluyendo por destruir la suya propria"

*PORTOGALLO*

*DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA*

1.	*Anonimo, A boceta de Pandora, "O Seculo", 7 - 8 de Abril de 1930* "Louise Brooks encarna, com a sua figura coleante, a moderna Pandora"
2.	A. L., "Cinefilo", 12 de Abril de 1930 - Lulu "Louise Brooks avançou um passo decisivo na sua carreira"

*A GIRL IN EVERY PORT*

1.	J. N. G., "Cinefilo", 17 de Maio de 1930 "Louise Brooks muito à vontade no papel da rapariga de reduzidos escrupulos"

*THE CANARY MURDER CASE*

1.	*Anonimo, O drama de uma noite, "O Seculo", 23 - 24 de Juhno de 1930* "Louise Brooks e Jean Arthur inexcediveis de sedução em duas estrêlas de 'music hall' "

*POLONIA*
