Screening with live piano accompaniment by Hughes Maréchal.
A humble department store clerk, Harold makes his fiancée believe he is part of the management. To impress the higher-ups, he devises a publicity stunt to attract customers: the ascent of a skyscraper by an acrobat. But things don’t go as planned…
“Harold Lloyd’s most famous film and the peak of silent slapstick cinema.” (Guide des films, R. Laffont)
“The comic genius of silent star Harold Lloyd is eternal. Chaplin is the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd – the modern guy striving for success – is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to him. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure!” (Criterion)
“One of the best of Lloyd’s thrill-comedies, a superb example of his ability to mix suspense and slapstick.” (TimeOut)
