King Vidor’s audacious The Crowd, one of the peaks of silent era filmmaking, will open Locarno77 accompanied with a live orchestral score. About an office worker enmeshed in the alienating gears of modernity and big city life, Vidor’s masterpiece would shape a generation of filmmakers that followed it, including Billy Wilder, who stole its most famous shot for The Apartment (1960).
