Details
Smoking with Lulu is based on Kenneth Tynan's Profile of Louise Brooks, written when he finally teased her out of reclusive retirement for an interview when she was 71 - after a lifetime of fantasising about her screen persona. He discovers that age has not withered her infinite capacity to fascinate him. This three-hander is intercut with footage from Pabst's Pandora's Box and spliced with Tynan's erotic fantasies of Lulu.
