Away with Words
Synopsis
Penelope Peabody, a former Paramount poster artist and current unemployed portrait painter who shares Abel's distaste for talking pictures, catches his eye and unknowingly sets in motion a collision of worlds. Soon, Abel will be forced to face the perils and possibilities of two worlds: the one in his head, and the one in which he has a chance at real love.
What follows is a planet-spanning odyssey replete with mad scientists, barren wastelands, vengeful utility companies, draconian judiciaries, sinister machines, prophetic visions, unbearable heartache, crippling poverty, murderous phantoms, fiendish debt collectors and an interfering Betty Boop.
A silent film featuring performances from Louise Brooks, Wallace Beery and Edward G. Robinson alongside a modern cast, with an entirely original solo piano soundtrack.
