Buster Keaton and Fritz Lang (movies) come to the Heritage House
The Heritage House Arts & Civic Center on Jenkins Rd. has long been a local destination for lovers of classic films. And this week, they have two celluloid presentations sure to delight filmgoers.
It kicks off this Thursday with a Buster Keaton double feature, showcasing Our Hospitality and The Cameraman, part of their ongoing International Film Series.
In Our Hospitality, a satire of Southern manners, a man returns to his Appalachian homestead, falling for a young woman in the midst of his journey. The only problem is—her family has vowed to kill every member of his family!
Yeah, that’s a bit awkward.
And in The Cameraman a clumsy man, hopelessly in love with a woman working at the MGM Studios, attempts to become a motion picture cameraman in order to be closer to the object of his desire.Both films are shown back-to-back starting at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.
Then on Monday at 7 p.m., the Retro-Future Film Series presents Fritz Lang’s science fiction classic Metropolis.
In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city’s mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
Be sure to catch these great films. You won’t be disappointed.
