The Unknown
Director: Tod Browning
Starring: Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, Norman Kerry, Nick De Ruiz, John George
Starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford, and directed by Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks), The Unknown is one of the great silent films, with a startling and intense performance by Chaney as Alonzo, on the run from the law and hiding out in the circus as The Armless Wonder – a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Against a background of circus life and the sinister shadow of the underworld, The Unknown is a psychosexual fever dream of love and revenge.
Un Chien Andalou
Director: Luis Buñuel
Starring: Pierre Batcheff, Simone Mareuil, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí, Jaume Miravitlles, Fano Messan
Un Chien Andalou is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali’s groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.
