1928 - Silent • With Live Accompaniment by Robert York on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Film Historian Antonia Carlotta • Directed by the German Expressionist filmmaker Paul Leni, this adaptation of Victor Hugo's 1869 novel features superstar of the silent era Mary Philbin and German-born mega star Conrad Veidt. The film is known for the freakish grin on Veidt’s face, which pushes the film into the realm of horror. If you’ve never seen this creepy work of art, mark your calendar!
