The sensational 1928 Louise Brooks film, Beggars of Life, will be shown FOUR times this weekend at Trylon in Minneapolis, Minnesota. More information about this screening can be found HERE.
(1928, DCP, 100m) dir William A. Wellman w/Louise Brooks, Wallace Beery, Richard Arlen. In a tour-de-force performance, Brooks is a young woman who dresses as a boy and hops freight trains with hobos after murdering her lecherous stepfather. Beautifully restored, this silent film is ripe for rediscovery. With live musical accompaniment by Dreamland Faces.
FRI/SAT 7:00 SUN 3:00 5:15 $12
Want to learn more about the film? Last Spring saw the release of my well reviewed new book, Beggars of Life: A Companion to the 1928 Film, and last Summer saw the release of a new DVD / Blu-ray of the film from Kino Lorber. (The DVD features a commentary by Thomas Gladysz, as well as an outstanding musical score by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.) If you haven't secured your own copy of either the book or the DVD / Blu-ray, why not do so today? Each is an essential addition to your Louise Brooks collection.
