About The Nickel Presents - THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER + LIVE SCORE
THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (1928) + LIVE SCORE
(1928, France, Jean Epstein)
Jean Epstein’s silent adaptation of Poe’s tale is a masterclass in early cinematic expressionism, merging abstract imagery with atmospheric tension. The decaying Usher estate, filmed in shadowed chiaroscuro, embodies psychological collapse, while the film’s experimental editing and camera movement intensify the narrative’s dreamlike terror. A touchstone of avant-garde horror, it remains visually hypnotic nearly a century later.
With a live score by Marika Tyler-Clark and introduction by Agnes
Doors 8.15pm
