DER LETZTE MANN aka THE LAST LAUGH 

One of the most influential silent films of all time, FW Murnau's street-drama tragedy The Last Laugh is a compendium of silent film techniques handled with a new sophistication. The story concerns an ageing hotel porter who loses his job to a younger, more dashing man and suffers the humiliation of being demoted to washroom attendant. When the hearty, rather pompous Emil Jannings is stripped of the dignified uniform of his station, he transforms into a scared little man scurrying through the shadows to hide his demotion from friends and family. Murnau captures the humiliation and calamitous fallout from the demotion (he loses not just his self-respect, but the esteem of his neighbours and even loses his apartment) in haunting, expressionistic images that magnify the petty events into tragic melodrama. The story seems a little extreme even for the genre but it's never less than a harrowing, subjective experience, even with the rather fanciful happy ending tacked on the end of it.

F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu, Faust, Sunrise), Carl Mayer (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), Karl Freund (Metropolis, The Mummy) and Emil Jannings (Faust, The Blue Angel) collaborated to produce The Last Laugh (Der Letze Mann), one of the finest triumphs of the silent cinema. This tragic-comedy of an elderly hotel doorman whose world crumbles when he is demoted to lavatory attendant bases its reputation on the dazzlingly fluid cinematography of Karl Freund, the virtuoso performance of Emil Jannings and the innovative, Expressionist direction of F.W. Murnau – all of which relentlessly explore the psychological disintegration of this "last of men".
