LAB CLASSICS: NORTH BY NORTHWEST (4K RESTORATION)
This year marks 125 years since the birth of Alfred Hitchcock and so we are happy to present one of his most revered suspense masterpieces in a brand-new 4K restoration. After leaving audiences at II Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna on the edges of their seats, the brand new restoration, from the original camera, showcases the most popular and acclaimed films of all time like never before!
Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959) is a masterful blend of suspense, comedy, and romance, centered around the story of Roger O. Thornhill, a suave advertising executive mistaken for a government agent. This mistaken identity propels Thornhill on a thrilling journey across the United States, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to the vast plains of the Midwest, culminating in a dramatic climax atop Mount Rushmore. The film is renowned for its iconic set pieces, including the legendary crop-duster sequence and the harrowing Mount Rushmore finale, showcasing Hitchcock’s unparalleled ability to build tension and create visually stunning scenes.
