    Fall of the House of Usher

    1928 • Directed by Jean Epstein • Accompanied Live by Randy Woltz on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Film Historian Randy Haberkamp Based on the story by Edgar Allan Poe, this is one of the most haunting silent films ever made. Roderick Usher is compelled to paint a portrait of his dying wife. However, with each bold brushstroke, the painting is brought to life while his wife rapidly meets her fate. Her death sends him into madness. We follow his cinematic descent through a series of jagged camera angles, inventive close-ups, and endless flickering candles. Will the lovers be reunited, or is this the fall of the house of Usher?
