MUBI and LWLies present Hitchcock’s sub­lime chiller, Dial M for Mur­der, at London’s Rio Cinema.

Read­ers of this web­site are prob­a­bly too young to remem­ber the sal­ad days of when every film on gen­er­al release was pre­sent­ed in 3D. Well, the come­back starts here, as we’re team­ing up with MUBI and Dalston’s won­der­ful Rio Cin­e­ma to present Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 nerve-jan­gler, Dial M for Mur­der, in its new­ly restored 3D version.

This screen­ing is pre­sent­ed in tan­dem with MUBI’s Alfred Hitch­cock: A Tick­ing Bomb sea­son, which offers a sur­vey of some of the mas­ter of suspense’s slight­ly less­er-known lat­er work. So once you’ve caught Dial M… with us on the big screen, head to MUBI to catch the sin­gle-set, sin­gle-take stun­ner, Rope, the mas­ter­ful psy­cho­log­i­cal thriller Marnie, or the scabrous­ly seedy ser­i­al killer yarn, Frenzy.

The film screens at the Rio Cin­e­ma in Dal­ston on Sat­ur­day 22 Sep­tem­ber at 1pm.

All tick­et hold­ers will also receive a bespoke, lim­it­ed edi­tion poster print which has been cre­at­ed for this screen­ing by reg­u­lar LWLies col­lab­o­ra­tor, Lola Bel­trán.

Book ear­ly to avoid dis­ap­point­ment. Tick­ets avail­able here.

Alfred Hitch­cock: A Tick­ing Bomb runs on MUBI from Sept 1.
