artisticly shot and actor portray exactly their role . you get a real feeling watch lucienne ascend from poverty to the most beautiful girl around . a sense of tragedy to triumph to tragedy again . all in all i have see this film at least 10 time . and can very well say that prix de beute ( the beauty prize and miss europe ) be a major favorite in my silent film collection . the expressiveness of louise brook be perfect and i recommend this film to anyone who appreciate artistic beauty couple with a tragic story line .
