Greed
United States | 1924 | Erich von Stroheim
Unbelievably, one of the all-time great films has never been released to DVD! Erich von Stroheim’s potent silent film version of Frank Norris’ novel McTeague chronicles how the love of money destroys the lives of three friends in 19th-century California. Originally 9-10 hours long, Greed remains the most mutilated masterpiece in film history. Although the complete version remains lost, what survives is impressive, inflammatory, and indelible. Sebastian Birch, composer and Assistant Professor of Music at Kent State, will provide live piano accompaniment.
35mm. Shown at 24 frames per second. Approx. 100 min. Special admission $10; members, CIA I.D. holders, age 25 & under $8. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.
