The Man Who Laughs (2023) Trailer Rescore | Premiere

95th Anniversary Presentation. Disfigured by a king as a child, an 18th-century clown again becomes the pawn of royalty and the star of the freak show of a traveling carnival. The Man Who Laughs is a 1928 American silent film directed by the German Expressionist filmmaker Paul Leni. The film is an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1869 novel of the same name, and stars Mary Philbin as the blind Dea and Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine. The film is known for the grim carnival freak-like grin on the character Gwynplaine’s face which often leads it to be classified as a horror film. “Truly amazing!“ - Jeffrey M.
