HORRORS! THE ALLOY ORCHESTRA


September 29 – October 1, 2006
For their only visit to Detroit this year, Boston's acclaimed Alloy Orchestra will present beautifully restored versions of two legendary horror classics in an unprecedented double feature! The original 1925 version of The Phantom of the Opera, one of the scariest and most influential horror films of all time, stars the astonishing Lon Chaney as the mysterious Erik, the Phantom. This gorgeous new print reproduces the intricate color scheme of the original release with the experimental Technicolor sequence at the masked ball and luscious hand tinting throughout. Combined with Alloy's rich new score, this entertaining classic is as creepy today as ever. ALSO: after a short intermission, the Alloy returns with Nosferatu (1922), German director F.W. Murnau's eerie adaptation of Dracula, considered by many to be the greatest vampire movie of all time. One of the year's most exciting events, presented for three performances only! (3 hours total) Fri. & Sat. at 7:00, Sun. at 3:00

MATADOR

September 30 – October 1, 2006
(Spain/1986) Pedro Almodovar
Sex and murder form a potent pairing in this pitch-black comedy about an ex-matador (Antonio Banderas) whose arousal by the notion of death is shared by a twisted and deviously brilliant female criminal lawyer (Assumpta Serna). One of Almodovar's most outrageous, controversial and explicit explorations of forbidden passions and deadly desires. (107 min.)
