TRIBUTE TO A GENIUS: F. W. MURNAU
FOUR FILMS TO DIE FOR:
Emil Jannings famously played the devil in Faust (1926) to great acclaim; Margaret Livingston or “The woman from the city” in the masterpiece Sunrise: A song of Two Humans (1927) considered to be among the best films of all times; Emil Jannings again, as the pathetic hotel doorman in the grim expressionist jewel The Last Laugh (1924); and lastly we see the lovely neck of Gustav von Wangenheim in the iconic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)
All four of these films are STELLAR.
