Other Screenings

This adaptation of the famous drama enjoys one of the most wonderful soundtracks by one of the greatest Hollywood composers, Alfred Newman. In the spectacular soundtrack, you again and again hear Newman’s conducting skills, whose sound is synonymous with pure emotion. In this film, Newman triumphally elicits strong feelings of identification, compassion, and even love for a twisted monstrous creature, which with a different soundtrack could easily have been used in the same film as a real horror villain.

USA 1939 | 117 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Laughton is simultaneously hideous and touching as a deformed bellringer who thwarts his master's framing of a beautiful gypsy girl. This adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel is Hollywood in all its glory - imaginative artistic direction, striking sets, extensive costumes, rich camera work, stylish lighting, and above all brilliant direction and performances.
