Dates & times
Set in a foggy and unsettled London with a Jack the Ripper type serial killer on the loose, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) was Alfred Hitchcock’s first major commercial and critical success.
Based on a story by Marie Belloc Lowndes, the film is a masterpiece of atmospheric thriller filmmaking. It contains many of Hitchcock’s subsequent trademark themes, and also features his first recognisable film cameo.
This screening will be accompanied by a live score from Minima, a Bristol-based four-piece group who have specialised in live accompaniment to silent film screenings since 2006. Their instrumentation of cello, double bass, guitars, dulcimer, synthesiser and drum kit create an uncompromising and unique live sound.
“Minima's spine-tingling music clung to each twist of the movie... spellbinding accompaniment.”The Guardian
"one of the leading bands accompanying silent film in Europe"Robert Rider, Head of Cinema, Barbican Centre, London
