The Last Command (1928)
Silent drama from acclaimed director, Josef von Sternberg.
With live music (Mauro Colombis), 88 minutes.
Stephen Robertson, cinephile and loyal supporter of the sessions, will introduce the classic feature.
“Emil Jannings won the first best actor Academy Award for his performance as a sympathetic tyrant: an exiled Russian general turned Hollywood extra who lands a role playing a version of his former tsarist self, bringing about his emotional downfall. Josef von Sternberg’s The Last Command is a brilliantly realized silent melodrama and a witty send-up of the Hollywood machine, featuring virtuoso cinematography, grandly designed sets and effects, and rousing Russian Revolution sequences. Towering above it all is the passionate, heartbreaking portrayal by Jannings.”
