The Lodger PG

Part of Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock, UK, 1927, 91m.

With his third feature film, The Lodger, Alfred Hitchcock took a major step toward greatness and made what he would come to consider his true directorial debut. This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man (matinee idol Ivor Novello) who takes up residence at a London boarding house just as a killer known as the Avenger descends upon the city, preying on blonde women. The film is animated by the palpable energy of a young stylist at play, decisively establishing the director’s formal and thematic obsessions.


Featuring Nitin Sawhney's 2012 score.


Our screening on Saturday 27 May was introduced by John Wischmeyer (City Lit)
