The last man
Philharmonischen Orchester Freiburg - Theater Freiburg, Großes Haus
Program Info: Richard Siedhoff - Der letzte Mann
Silent film concert // Friedrich W. Murnau
“Do you know what you will be tomorrow?” says the opening credits to the film THE LAST MAN. It is a touching story about an aging hotel porter who is in danger of losing respect for himself when he loses his job. But fate has an amazing twist in store at the end! The full-length silent film from 1924 is not only truly “silent”, but also has no words at all, as director Murnau has also dispensed with intertexts. The film is rightly considered a milestone in German film history (not only among cineastes). Günter A. Buchwald, our expert for silent film music, is at the podium of the Philharmonic Orchestra; the music is by Richard Siedhoff.
