A Cottage on Dartmoor
An innocent relationship between a barber and manicurist turns lethal when a third party enters the picture. Originally completed as a silent film and later refurbished for the sound era, this is scary, essential pulp from a director who, according to legendary critic Raymond Durgnat, ”out-Hitchcocks Hitchcock, before Hitchcock became Hitchcock.”
SIFF is delighted to co-present this very special preview from the upcoming San Francisco Silent Film Festival that will take place in San Francisco this July. The Silent Film Festival, now in its 12th year, is the preeminent presenter of silent cinema in the country, each year searching the globe for rare and wonderful treasures.
