We just can’t stop mouthing off about this sick Tod Browning stuff. Once again, people: There’s a great old-Hollywood cult director to be discovered on Monday nights at Film Forum. Last week I went to see The Unknown with a pal and we couldn’t help but be floored by all the psychosexual awfulness intended for our enjoyment. (The crowd went nuts.) Tonight’s dark gem, 1928’s West of Zanzibar, is a favorite of retro auteur Guy Maddin. What’s in store? Two competing magicians! One paralyzes the other from the waist down! But there’s revenge to come—in colonialist Africa! Also, a daughter…and a brothel! (Seriously, those exclamation points are merited.)
