PITFALL aka Otoshiana dir Hiroshi Teshigahara, 1962 presented by Electric Frog Film Club at ArtHouse Crouch End (15 FEB 19:00).

“The first of Electric Frog’s monthly film screenings, where each month a movie is picked by an EF writer. To kick us off we have Teshigahara’s PITFALL, chosen by Charlie Mitchell. A man wanders into a seemingly deserted town with his young son in search of work. But after a bit of bad luck, he joins the town’s population of lost souls.” (Electric Frog)
