Hugo Max performs live improvised scores to silent films on solo viola. He regularly soundtracks screenings at across cinemas in the UK and we are delighted to have him back to score the The Lodger (1927).
The Lodger
A serial killer known as ‘The Avenger’ terrorizes London, targeting blonde women in the fog. A landlady suspects her new lodger, a secretive man with strange habits, might be the murderer.
Establishing the themes of the ‘wrong man’ and suspense, this is Alfred Hitchcock’s first true thriller.
