Striking direction, pioneering cinematography -including handheld shots by the exceptional Karl Freund, who helped shape modern cinema-, and a powerful performance by Emil Jannings.\nA single intertitle appears at the very end - the story is told entirely through image and performance- offering an unexpected, heartwarming finale. Some perceived it as a compromise for commercial appeal; others saw it as cinema\u2019s great gift to its audience: the right to dream and to escape grim reality.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"DER LETZTE MANN (THE LAST LAUGH) Clip from the Masters of Cinema Release\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Da6U9FOvzmY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3880,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,4],"tags":[74,94,84,63],"class_list":["post-3879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category---caligari--hitler","category-tainies","tag-38-","tag-94","tag-84","tag-63"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3879"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3881,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3879\/revisions\/3881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/panoramafest.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
