Cinephile Paradiso: North By NorthwestPG136 min
Synopsis
Cinephile Paradiso is turning two next month, and to celebrate, we're delighted to present Alfred Hitchcock's classic spy thriller, NORTH BY NORTHWEST.
In this gripping tale, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) finds himself in hot water when he's mistaken for a man named George Kaplan. As he flees from both the police and foreign spies, he encounters the enigmatic Eve (Eva Marie Saint), which only leads to greater complications. Thornhill's desperate journey across the United States sees him pursued by agents of a shadowy organisation determined to smuggle government secrets out of the country. Also featuring Martin Landau, James Mason, and an iconic crop duster scene, NORTH BY NORTHWEST is a hallmark of Hitchcock's mastery of suspense.
This presentation of NORTH BY NORTHWEST will screen from a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative that premiered at the 2024 II Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna.
Cinephile Paradiso is a monthly classic cinema club taking place in Pálás Cinema & Bar. On the first Thursday of every month we handpick a classic film to watch on the big screen, followed by a discussion in the bar.
