The Silent Remasters programme has been specifically created to foster the development of our local musicians looking to work in the film industry whilst putting on a mighty fine show that has been the highlight of the Adelaide Cinemathque in recent years. Presented with a newly composed, live score by an emerging SA musician, The Last Laugh will continue the Adelaide Cinemathque Silent Remasters tradition in 2010

The Last Laugh (G)

  

DIR: F.W. MURNAU
GERMANY 1924 77mins 35mm
Major Geoffrey Moss, writer of Isn’t Life Wonderful, told us that he had one regret on leaving for England: he had not seen The Last Laugh one more time. A black comedy about a proud doorman whose life is turned upside down when he is demoted to bathroom attendant, this film is a marvel of expression, character and atmosphere. The Last Laugh was a true landmark film of its time, complete with all the cinematic wonder that Murnau is famous for.
