The Man Who Laughs (L’homme qui Rit)- Paul Leni
Continuing in the vein of German expressionism on cinema, a ‘can’t miss’ is the 1927 USA silent directed by Paul Leni. Starring Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin, this is adapted from a Victor Hugo plot. Certain films you see in a lifetime remain forever in your memory banks. This is one of them, along with Metropolis and the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
Fed up with Christmas shopping, duck into the movies.
L’Homme Qui Rit. Sunday, December 24th. 4:30 pm.
