About this event

Arts • Theatre

Amnesiascope presents Tod Browning's silent masterpiece THE UNKNOWN rescored to the music of Bob Dylan. Since its release in 1927, THE UNKNOWN has often been subject to merciless edits and paltry musical accompaniment. The fullest surviving version of the Lon Chaney horror picture is here presented in a radical reimagining, Dylan's music—from fan favorites to his deepest cuts—expanding Browning's vision: in conversation with, juxtaposing, and contradicting the tale of a carnival performer (Chaney) and his merciless attempt to win the heart of a fellow performer (Joan Crawford). Tuesday, October 14 may be the only time this version of the film is ever presented—a profoundly rare opportunity to experience this landmark film like never before.
