The Last Laugh
1924 · TMDB 7.8 · Der letzte Mann
Directed by F. W. Murnau
An aging doorman, after being fired from his prestigious job at a luxurious hotel, is forced to face the scorn of his friends, neighbours and society.
Why it matters
F.W. Murnau's German expressionist masterpiece about a hotel doorman demoted to washroom attendant. Told almost entirely through the camera's movements, it is a landmark of visual storytelling.
