As 60 year-old Godfrey Spry stands outside the post office, a wheelbarrow full of building rubble falls on him, leaving him with a 30 second attention span - the exact length of the average TV commercial...

Television advertising becomes reality for Godfrey and after seeing an advert he proceeds to conduct a high speed test drive along the top of a cliff at sunset - leading to a further crippling injury. His behaviour might be too much to bear for his wife, if she herself didn't tragically fall victim to an equally bizarre event. And so Godfrey and his deeply susceptible nature land in the lap of his nephew, Gordon and his wife Muriel. As the wheelchair-bound advert-watcher swallows every public service broadcast literally and blindly follows every debt-inducing call to buy, we are left to wonder exactly who is really being deduced…

Born in Nebraska, 1893, Harold Lloyd always had a love for performing, but it was with the legendary producer Hal Roach that he first turned to comedy.

Over the years Lloyd developed a number of characters, his most successful and well-known being the "Glasses Character", an all-American boy whose signature was a simple pair of horn-rimmed glasses. While with Hal Roach, Lloyd had a number of regular co-stars, Snub Pollard, Bebe Daniels and his leading lady in many films, Mildred Davis, who he would later marry. Renowned for his precarious stunts, one of the most iconic images of the era and perhaps of the entire film industry, is Harold Lloyd hanging high above a cityscape from a clock face from his film 'Safety Last'. Here is a collection of nine beautifully restored films made during 1918-1922, featuring Bumping Into Broadway an early success for his evolving "Glasses Character" and Number, Please?, arguably one of Lloyd's best two-reelers. It also includes Grandma's Boy, one of Lloyd's first feature films, it is said, he thought to have been one of his greatest accomplishments.

Grieving for the loss of their infant son, a couple (Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg) retreat to the solace of their remote woodland cabin to repair their troubled marriage. But once there, nature itself turns against them and a terrifying journey into violence and chaos begins.
