«Safety Last!» – Stummfilmklassiker mit Live-Orchester

The legendary slapstick comedy "Safety Last!" (1923), starring Harold Lloyd, will be presented in a special performance with the Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden under the baton of Laurent Zufferey. The music composed especially for the film by Robert Israel gives the images new liveliness and charm. The famous scene at the high-rise clock is one of the milestones in film history. The turbulent plot of a young man who grows beyond himself out of love and ambition - in the truest sense of the word - continues to inspire today with speed, wit and breathtaking stunts. A unique cinema experience in the spirit of the golden film era.
