About The Nickel Presents - PICCADILLY
PICCADILLY
(1929, UK, E.A. Dupont)
A landmark of late silent cinema, Piccadilly tells the story of Shosho, a scullery maid at a London nightclub whose talent as a dancer propels her to stardom — and into a dangerous romance. Anna May Wong’s luminous performance cuts through the melodrama, making her one of the first non-white actors to carry a British film at the center. Dupont films Soho with shadows and elegance, capturing the glamour and unease of a city intoxicated by modernity and haunted by its racial and class hierarchies.
This screening is brought to you in partnership with Faber and Faber and will be complimented by a discussion with Katie Gee Salisbury of the film and her book ’Not Your China Doll’
