Emil Jannings stars in the film which won the first ever Academy Award for best Actor for his role in this stunning early masterpiece from director Josef von Sternberg (The Blue Angel ). An exiled Russian general turned Hollywood extra (Emil Jannings, in an incredibly passionate performance) is chosen by a former adversary (William Powell) to play a role that resembles his former self and gradually loses his grip on reality. Equally a sharp witted satire of the Hollywood machine and a heartbreaking drama about one man’s emotional downfall, Josef von Sternberg’s The Last Command (his second major Hollywood picture) is one of the finest and most significant films of its era. Featuring exemplary cinematography, beautifully designed sets, and rousing Revolution sequences, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the worldwide Blu-ray debut of this wonderfully composed masterpiece.

Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films
Gesticulated Shakespeare: Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Rebecca Collins, B.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Alan Woods, Advisor Janet Parrott Copyright by Jennifer Rebecca Collins 2011 Abstract The purpose of this study is to dissect the gesticulation used in the films made during the silent era that were adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays. In particular, this study investigates the use of nineteenth and twentieth century established gesture in the Shakespearean film adaptations from 1899-1922. The gestures described and illustrated by published gesture manuals are juxtaposed with at least one leading actor from each film. The research involves films from the experimental phase (1899-1907), the transitional phase (1908-1913), and the feature film phase (1912-1922). Specifically, the films are: King John (1899), Le Duel d'Hamlet (1900), La Diable et la Statue (1901), Duel Scene from Macbeth (1905), The Taming of the Shrew (1908), The Tempest (1908), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1909), Il Mercante di Venezia (1910), Re Lear (1910), Romeo Turns Bandit (1910), Twelfth Night (1910), A Winter's Tale (1910), Desdemona (1911), Richard III (1911), The Life and Death of King Richard III (1912), Romeo e Giulietta (1912), Cymbeline (1913), Hamlet (1913), King Lear (1916), Hamlet: Drama of Vengeance (1920), and Othello (1922). The gestures used by actors in the films are compared with Gilbert Austin's Chironomia or A Treatise on Rhetorical Delivery (1806), Henry Siddons' Practical Illustrations of Rhetorical Gesture and Action; Adapted to The English Drama: From a Work on the Subject by M.

Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance
Close-up: great international performances Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance Humans are storytelling creatures, and as, in the last century, the dominant medium for public narratives shift ed from theater to cinema, cinema placed the fruits of performative labor before the eyes of the world in an unprecedented way. What actors do in front of the camera remains central to the att raction of cinema for audiences, and infl uences—even marks the standard for—performance styles in other audiovisual media. Indeed, one could go further: many of the fi gures discussed in the pages that follow became cultural and mythical icons in the global consciousness of their time. Audiences care about actors, the characters they create, and the responses they engender. Performances are even the reason some fi lms are preserved. But beyond vague assertions about which performances are ineff ably great, profoundly moving, hopelessly terrible, or cringe-worthy, relatively litt le discussion of what actors really do exists, either in popular or academic fi lm criticism. Movements within the discipline of Film Studies (semiotics, psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, and so forth) tend to look fi rst to the sciences, and thus outside fi lms themselves, for legitimate—meaning objective—means of verifying claims about movies. Th is poses a problem for the analysis of performance, as we respond to and love the displays of feelings, desires, and intentions at a personal level, if also collectively. We might thus wish to grapple with questions of what makes a performance meaningful, how we can share this sense, and, in sharing, possibly come to agreement.
