The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog
Coral Gables Art CinemaWednesday, January 29, 2020
8:00pm to 9:30pm
Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Avenue
In 1927, Alfred Hitchcock directed a silent film inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders, starring an ambiguously appealing Ivor Novello. The long-form title not only situates the film in a smoky, sensuous atmosphere, but summons immediately the opaque moral compass at the heart of the plot. The Lodger is generally acknowledged to be the one where Hitchcock found his voice: that distinctive combination of death and fetishism, trick shots and music-hall humor, intense menace and elegant camerawork that assured his place among cinema’s giants. The film has been remade four times, alas, none to match the original. More information
