City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1ptMULH Imagination & unique frame cropping combine to dramatic, thrilling effect in his most famous silent film. Described by him as "the first true Hitchcock film", The Lodger has all the gripping ingredients of a Hitchcockian thriller - mistaken identities, sex & murders. A serial killer with a taste for young blondes is terrorizing London. There's escalating tension in a working-class couple who suspect their mercurial lodger might be the mass murderer. Like a clever composer aiming for heightened dramatic impact, scenes accelerate, slow, or pause excruciatingly, according to a mysteriously effective directorial score. This screening will utilize the specially commissioned musical soundtrack for the film.
