Flatpack Festival: The Lodger + Graham Reynolds

Graham Reynolds stole plenty of hearts with his one-man show at the Hare and Hounds during last year’s Flatpack. We loved it so much that we’ve invited him back again, this time accompanying a masterpiece of silent cinema.

A serial killer is on the loose in fog-bound London, murdering a series of blonde women. The Bunting family suspect that their mysterious upstairs tenant (Ivor Novello) may have something to do with the killings. Made on the cusp of the sound era and full of the suspense and visual flourishes that would become his trademark, the film’s director described The Lodger as ‘the first true Hitchcock movie.’

Graham Reynolds is a multitalented musician and composer from Austin Texas. As well as creating scores for a number of Richard Linklater’s films including A Scanner Darkly and Before Midnight, he has worked across ballet, theatre and opera. His latest solo album Mountain is out on Fire Records.
