The Ring (Hitchcock, 1927): Hackney Empire, 8pm
Here is the BFI introduction to the event: Alfred Hitchcock's love-triangle melodrama is a wonderful evocation of London
in the 1920s, following boxer Jack from his fairground roots to the
Albert Hall, and an epic fight with his Australian love-rival, Bob.
Based on an original Hitchcock screenplay, The Ring's taut pacing and
expressionist flourishes pack a real punch, marking it as a worthy
precursor to Scorsese's Raging Bull. Presented with the world premiere
of a jazz score by Soweto Kinch, performed live by the Soweto Kinch
Band.
