If you loved Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, try The Last Laugh

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by F. W. Murnau, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Last Laugh is

Vaudeville meets silent cinema as one man’s hat-tipping gig turns into the city’s cruelest stand-up routine. A hall porter fired for age loses his status and income then learns applause is a luxury. The first feature shot entirely in Hollywood by a German with no intertitles.
