The Last Laugh (1924), NR
One of the crowning achievements of the German Expressionist movement, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau’s The Last Laugh (Der letzte Mann) stars Emil Jannings as an aging doorman whose happiness crumbles when he is relieved of the duties and uniform that has for years been the foundation of his happiness and pride. Through Jannings’s colossal performance, The Last Laugh becomes more than the plight of a single doorman, but a mournful dramatization of the frustration and anguish of the working class. MORE INFO

Daily Bread: Food as Motif in Murillo's Paintings
Food is a poignant motif in Bartolomé-Esteban Murillo’s paintings of street life in Seville, a city that experienced waves of famine in the 17th century. In these paintings, Murillo presents a romanticized vision of people experiencing poverty—particularly children, who he shows enjoying surprisingly wholesome, even luscious-looking food despite their bare surroundings. In this lecture, Bell explores Murillo’s motivations for repeatedly including food in his genre paintings. She considers the relationship of these paintings of precarity to his religious images of charity, such as the Norton Simon’s Saint Thomas of Villanueva Giving Alms to the Poor (1665–70), which depicts pious generosity as a means of remedying bodily need.
