Northern Michigan University’s French Program is presenting its 10th annual Classic Silent Film with Grand Piano Accompaniment featuring “La Chute de la Maison Usher”, a 1928 French horror film, on Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. in the Brule and Cadillac rooms of the University Center at NMU.
Robert Buchkoe will play the piano. The film is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Gothic short story The Fall of the House of Usher. It is directed by Jean Epstein. In it, Allan visits the sinister Usher family mansion, where his friend Roderick is painting a portrait of his sickly wife Madeline. The portrait seems to be draining the life out of Madeline.
A reception with refreshments will follow the film screening. NMU’s French Club is sponsoring the event. Admission is free.
