The Limehouse Golem Synopsis: As music-hall star Elizabeth Cree awaits her sentence for the death of her husband John, Inspector Kildare suspects he may have died by the hand of the serial killer responsible for the series of murders that has shaken Victorian London.
Genre: Crime , Mystery , Thriller. Director s : Juan Carlos Medina. IMDB: 6. Next ». Let us begin, my friends, at the end. Lizzie: John? He left nothing? If he meant to poison himself, why would he not at least leave a note? I fear that the act of burning his papers bears testament enough to his state of mind.
Forgive me -- i-i know this is neither the time nor the place -- but may I say what an ardent admirer I am of your work? There was residue in a glass on the nightstand. Oh, it can't have been in there, sir. His nightly cordial was always prepared by Mrs.
Did not make the drink? Surely you're not asking me in earnest if I poisoned my husband? Oh, sir, believe me, she cannot have done this! The two of them were in a most violent dispute yesterday! Why would she prepare Mr. Aveline, what has possessed you? Sir, please, allow me to explain.
I'm sorry, Mrs. You'll need to do that down at Scotland yard. A woman accused of poisoning her husband. But not just any woman -- little Lizzie, darling of the music halls. But the city was in thrall with the fearsome limehouse golem. Who was he?
The golem had last struck the day before her arrest. And his was the name on every londoner's lips. How many are dead? Shopkeeper Mr. Gerrard, his wife Mary, their maid It's not Number What of it?
John Williams? Kildare: And mine! Inspector Roberts! Can you confirm that this is the work of the golem? Evening post reporter: What is it about this house? Do you think it could be cursed, sir? Gentlemen, gentlemen, please! I'd ask you to, uh, direct your requests to my colleague, detective inspector kildare.
Evening post reporter: Kildare? How are you spelling that? Taking over? The whole enterprise was about alcohol and how much landlords could sell, so the music halls were a sort of cross between a supper club and a variety circus. It was a fantastic period of time. The music halls were all closed down eventually because there was so much crime going on and people were outraged. I think at one point there was something like 10, music halls in London.
The bawdiness of it all was very important. Many acts would be a satirical take on the world. Dan Leno [played by Douglas Booth in the film] was a great example of this type of performance and he was amazingly popular; people would come from miles around to see him.
At the height of his career, he was one of the most highly paid performers in the world. Although originally designed for commoners, the music halls attracted very well-to-do people who wanted to come and witness the entertainment of the time.
The wealthy would traditionally be found in the galleries, while the ordinary people were down on the ground, in a sort of mosh pit. It was more expensive to go into the galleries because you could walk around.
There were, however, dark areas where the men could go with the prostitutes. It was very seedy. It was a really horrific time for women. Domestic violence was rife: it happened every day.
There was a lot of alcohol, despair and horror behind closed doors. You see some of this in the way that the character Lizzie [played by Olivia Cooke] is treated.
She is in a really bad place in the film — any woman of that time would be. Strangely, Dan Leno represented a voice for women. In the film, Dan Leno understands Lizzie. He was an incredibly bright man: he knew that you were never going to go far as a woman and he knew that Lizzie would never be treated as a proper actress.
That was her glass ceiling. At this point in time, London was a melting pot of ideas, home to many different nationalities, religions and thoughts. It was a time when the world as we know it today was just beginning: a world of steam and trains and harnessing power from people. In the film, we try to show this cosmopolitan aspect of London. You see the Chinese opium dens; you see the Jewish influence in Limehouse; you see the Irish influence and people speaking Irish on the streets.
Limehouse was a real smorgasbord of different ideas and cultures, and this makes it a fascinating place.
