"The Last Laugh" One of the major works
of German silent cinema, Murnau's class drama depicts the fall of the respected, aging,
hotel doorman (Emil Jannings) of a posh Berlin hotel, who is cruelly stripped of his
position and reduced to a bathroom attendant. The film was groundbreaking for its
expressive, mobile camera work, which imparts information visually, without subtitles.
"The camera on a trolley glides, rises, zooms, or weaves where the story takes it.
The camera takes part in the action and becomes a character in the drama"
(Marcel Carne). With Max Hiller, Maly Delschaft and Hans Unterkirchen. |
