Der letzte Mann (1924)
Olga Pashchenko, piano - Muziekgebouw, Grote Zaal
Program Info: Der letzte Mann (1924), film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau with music by Alfredo Casella , Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn, Sergej Rachmaninov, Gioachino Rossini, Franz Schubert, Erwin Schulhoff, Jean Sibelius and Clara Schumann , composed by Jed Wentz
Famous performer Olga Pashchenko plays a piano score compiled by Jed Wentz, as she previously did with Der Golem, Herr Tartüff and Nosferatu . She accompanies this gem by director FW Murnau with music that was popular when the film was released a century ago. Der letzte Mann is a film with which he conjures up big cinema from a small story, thanks to innovative camera work that would leave a lasting mark on cinema.
In his long, braided uniform coat, the doorman (Emil Jannings) of a large hotel welcomes the chic guests. When, after years of loyal service - and just before his daughter's wedding - he is demoted to toilet attendant, he dares not tell anyone. The freely moving camera, which often adopts the point of view of the doorman, immerses the audience in a personal tragedy.
