This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man (matinee idol Ivor Novello) who takes up residence at a London boardinghouse, just as a killer who preys on blonde women, known as the Avenger, descends upon the city. The film is animated by the palpable energy of a young stylist at play, decisively establishing the director s formal and thematic obsessions. In this edition, The Lodger is accompanied by Downhill, another 1927 silent exploration of Hitchcock s wrong man trope, also headlined by Novello making for a double feature that reveals the great master of the macabre as he was just coming into his own.\n\nTWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\n-2K digital restoration, with a new score by composer Neil Brand, performed by the Orchestra of Saint Paul s\n-Downhill, director Alfred Hitchcock s 1927 feature film starring Ivor Novello, in a 2K digital restoration with a new piano score by Brand\n-New interview with film scholar William Rothman on Hitchcock s visual signatures\n-New video essay by art historian Steven Jacobs about Hitchcock s use of architecture\n-Excerpts from audio interviews with Hitchcock by filmmakers François Truffaut (1962) and Peter Bogdanovich (1963)\n-Radio adaptation of The Lodger from 1940, directed by Hitchcock\n-New interview with Brand on composing for silent film\n-PLUS: Essays on The Lodger and Downhill by critic Philip Kemp\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B06XP61PSV\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B06XP61PSV.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ivor Novello|Alfred Hitchcock\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
