Ciné-concert Le Dernier des Hommes, Murnau

Experience the haunting brilliance of early cinema with *Ciné‑concert Le Dernier des Hommes, Murnau* – a mesmerizing concert film that brings F.W. Murnau’s 1924 masterpiece *The Last of Men* to life. In the opulent halls of a Berlin luxury hotel, a once‑proud doorman’s world shatters as age and weakness force him into the humble role of a toilet attendant. Yet he fights to conceal his fall, secretly donning his uniform in defiance. With Karl Freund’s groundbreaking “unleashed camera” providing unprecedented movement, Murnau masterfully chronicles the character’s descent while Emil Jannings delivers a performance of raw intensity. This cinematic milestone, crafted without intertitles and ending on a surprisingly hopeful note, not only launched Jannings and Murnau to Hollywood but also defined a new era of visual storytelling. Composer Alexis Savelief has scored the film for a stellar creative consortium, featuring the Orchestre National de Bretagne, Orchestre National de Cannes, Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse, and Orchestre de Picardie Haut‑de‑France, transforming the silent score into a living, breathing concert experience. Join us for this cinematic journey—discover history, relish music, and witness the timeless tragedy of *The Last of Men* in a format that renews its magic for today’s audiences.
