The Body Obsessive: The Unknown + Un Chien Andalou

  • The LetLove Inn 27-20 23rd Avenue Queens, NY United States (map)

Join us as The Flushing Remonstrance perform their chilling and kaleidoscopic live score to the 1927 silent horror classic The Unknown and legendary surrealist film Un Chien Andalou.

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 is Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's groundbreaking depiction of fetish, religion, and obsessive sexuality that forever changed the aesthetics of film.

One night only! Monday, November 11, 2024 at 8:00 pm. Shows at the LetLove Inn are FREE ADMISSION, with donations appreciated.
