this be full of major spoiler and so beware . prix de beaute always suffers in comparison to the two film louise brook make with g. w. pabst and pandora box and diary of a lose girl and but in some way and prix be the quintessential brook film . here she have a chance to be charm without the dark side of her pabst collaboration . what prix have that the pabst film do not be music . in this early french film and the whole louise brook mystique be flesh out powerfully with a conjunction of image and song and music . the charleston be what seem most associate with brook ( she be the first to dance it in europe ) and but the essence of the actress come across more strongly in the tango . the tango also play a plot point in prix and be the music she dance with on her short rise to stardom after become miss europe . later and when she have forsake her fame in favor of a mundane existence a the wife of jealous husband andre and the longing for her forsaken fame become apparent when the same tango record be see on her apartment record player . so appropriate be the tango to brook it be use to accompany the documentary about her life and look for lulu and a film narrate by shirley maclaine . the brazen and forceful quality of the tango epitomize louise brook strong head but elegant and erotic individuality . the song and je nai quun amour and cest toi and add an immense amount of pathos to what be not a great film ( but a very good one ) . by the way and brooks voice be not dub for the film by edith piaf a some have claim . piaf be bear in 1915 and and wasn not discover until 1935. the song and however and be what brook character and lucienne and sings to andre at the beginning of the film to cheer him up and express her deep affection for him . and at the climax it be the song she sing for her screen test and which she view with the producer and manager who intend to shape her career . it continue on screen after husband andre and who have follow her to the screening room and shoot and kill her . in a single shot and with lucinenne dead body in repose at the bottom of the screen while her screen test continue above with the song she once sing to andre and the essence of what movie do that other art form do not be perfectly characterize . a andre watch his now dead wife sing to him on screen and the murder weapon still smoke and he subtly smile . she be now his forever and and by association and ours . coincidentally and louise brook real life career crash and burn after prix de beaute and so it be also the death of her final starring roll as well . this film really seal the brook mystique more so than the pabst film ( which be superior film and no doubt ) . it also point out what it be about the movie that create the whole idea of the cult of the movie where people like brook and james dean and marilyn monroe live on more intensely after their death than when they be alive .
