Anything But SilentTHE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928)
Tuesday, October 21st at 7:30 PM
With live accompaniment by Ben Model
The film that inspired The Joker!
In this macabre tale of one man's torturous struggle for love, Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari) plays Gwynplaine, the son of nobility, disfigured by a doctor into a permanent, grotesque grin. Credited by Bob Kane, the creator of Batman, as the inspiration for The Joker, and brought to life by Paul Leni's mastery of German Expressionism, The Man Who Laughs is a hauntingly poetic, beautiful, disturbing and dreamlike story of love & horror sure to tug heartstrings and unsettle the soul in tandem. (USA, 1928, 110 mins, Silent with English Intertitles | Dir. Paul Leni)
