***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Coming on September 9th on Blu-ray in the US from @FlickerAlley as part of their #FlickerFusion Series: #HeWhoGetsSlapped (1924)!
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and let Flicker Alley and Blackhawk Films delight and terrify you with the strangest attraction ever beheld! Lon Chaney takes center stage as HE, a tortured clown whose signature act is receiving an endless series of slaps to the face.
Unbeknownst to the cheering crowd, however, HE is disgraced scientist Paul Beaumont who, robbed of his research and publicly humiliated by the evil Baron Regnard (Marc McDermott), has spent the last five years intricately staging a most bizarre and twisted revenge.
Originally a 1914 Russian stageplay by expressionist author Leonid Andreyev, He Who Gets Slapped became a hit on Broadway in 1922 and was immediately targeted by Louis B. Mayer as the first project at his new studio, soon to be amalgamated as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM.) Directed by Victor Sjöström (The Phantom Carriage, The Wind), Chaney’s tragic and deeply haunting performance as HE is seminal to a grand tradition of scary movie clowns.
He Who Gets Slapped makes its high definition debut through the generous support of the Sunrise Foundation for Education & the Arts. The film was restored by Blackhawk Films in 2024 from a first generation 35mm safety print and a 16mm dupe negative. It is presented with two different scores: an original piano composition by Antonio Coppola and an original orchestral score by Alloy Orchestra, recorded live in 2013.

Dentro del "Ciclo" Victor Sjostrom hoy destaco #HeWhoGetsSlapped (1924) que desarrolla la tragedia grotesca y la deformación psicológica del personaje interpretado por Lon Chaney y resulta un proto #Joker que recuerda al #ArthurFleck de 100 años más tarde.

A film of love, betrayal, sadness, and revenge, Lon Chaney, again provides a maniacal and captivating performance as a man whose life becomes a tragic comedy. Highly recommended.
