Alfred Hitchcock's The Lodger - Movie in Concert
Dallas Chamber Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard McKay - Moody Performance Hall
Program Info: Douglas Pipes - The Lodger
Enjoy Alfred Hitchcock’s timeless classic, The Lodger, as the Dallas Chamber Symphony performs an original, DCS-commissioned score, written by Douglas Pipes; Richard McKay conducts.
“The Lodger” is a seminal film in Alfred Hitchcock’s career, marking his first true foray into the thriller genre. Released in 1927 and starring Ivor Novello, it tells the story of a London family who takes in a mysterious lodger amidst a string of Jack the Ripper-style murders. As suspicion mounts and tension rises, the lodger’s strange behavior and nocturnal habits lead the family to question his innocence.
Hitchcock’s masterful direction is evident throughout the film, with innovative techniques such as expressionistic lighting and dynamic camera angles heightening the suspense. “The Lodger” showcases Hitchcock’s early exploration of themes that would become hallmarks of his later work, including the blurring of innocence and guilt, the psychology of fear, and cinema’s voyeuristic nature.
With its gripping storyline, atmospheric cinematography, and Hitchcock’s trademark touch of suspense, “The Lodger” remains a captivating and influential piece of cinema history, setting the stage for the legendary director’s future successes in the thriller genre.
