The Last Laugh (1924)

  • Untitled-1_large

F.W. Murnau's silent film The Last Laugh (1924) hinges on a dolorous performance by Emil Jannings, who plays a proud porter unfortunately demoted to washroom attendant. The expressionist classic is best-known for avant-garde characteristics such as murky lenses, sumptuous tracking shots, and the absence of title cards — except for one notable instance at the film's end.

– Jason Jude Chan
