CLUB 35

One Thursday a month, Palace presents a "cinema classic" to see or re-see on the big screen.

Jean-Pierre Verscheure, curator and specialist in the history of cinema techniques, will present this copy from his personal collection, accompanied by Fabrice Du Welz, Belgian director and screenwriter.

A great silent film classic to be discovered in its original 1923 format, thanks to a superb 35mm print and a remarkable restoration. You'll discover breathtaking perspective effects that only a big screen can bring to life. Without doubt Harold Lloyd's most accomplished work.

+ previews of two hand-picked sequences from Harold Lloyd's 1924 film "Hot Water".

After taking a job as a sales clerk in a department store, he starts sending his girlfriend expensive presents to convince her that he's made it. When she shows up in town, he pretends to be the general manager and must carry out a dangerous publicity stunt to earn enough money to keep his ruse going.
