Overview |
Thanks to his myriad film roles, Lon Chaney is known as “the man of a thousand faces,” and you could say that the early horror era never beheld a figure more intriguing. Yet because of his numerous transformations, his face never became as iconic as that of, say, Boris Karloff. Accompanied by a soundtrack from Bernhard Lang, this “re-imagination of shots” taken from Chaney´s forty-six surviving films offers a beguiling excursion into the history of film. The director reveals surprising associations, while highlighting the enduring magic of works which are now more or less forgotten. |

Overview |
Ein Einpersonenstück für den „Mann mit den tausend Gesichtern“. Horror-Stummfilmikone Lon Chaney war Sohn taubstummer Eltern: Schon als Kind perfektioniert er also Pantomime, berühmt wurde er für seine Meisterschaft als Verkleidungskünstler mit Hang zu grotesker Erscheinung und quälenden Verrenkungen. Die 46 erhaltenen von Chaneys gut 200 Filmen hat Norbert Pfaffenbichler in A Messenger From The Shadows zum Tribut re-montiert. |
