Rare screening of the iconic 1928 silent film, The Man Who Laughs, directed by the great Paul Leni and adapted from the Victor Hugo novel of the same name. Considered a masterpiece, the film tells a heart-breaking tale that is both melodramatic and chilling, ultimately becoming a template for modern-day horror films and the legendary Batman villain, The Joker. The screening will be live-scored with a performance featuring new work by Paris 1919, the musical collective of celebrated composer Chris Strouth and select Twin Cities musicians, in this case Natalie Nowytski (a classically-trained vocalist-turned-folk music geek who sings in 50+ languages and 12+ distinct vocal styles), guitarist Kent Militzer, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Russ. Strouth’s work has been described as “aggressively ambient,” and this new composition promises to be a fine cocktail to accompany this dark, weird, and twisty film.
