the fall of the house of usher

The Fall of the House of Usher (France 1928), based on the story by Edgar Allan Poe, is probably
Jean Epstein's best-known work in which the quality of the photography evokes comparison with the greatest of the German cinema

Charlie Barber's score has been composed specially for Entr'acte - an ensemble of
saxophone and string quartet - and returns to the musical sketches of Debussy's uncompleted opera on the same story to bring further depth to the foreboding atmosphere of this classic of early cinema
