<jats:p> Through a witty close reading of Ernst Lubitsch's film “Ninotchka” (1939) - a Greta Garbo comedy explicitly marketed through the promise that in it the infamously impassive ‘face of the century’ would, in fact, laugh - Paul Morrison (Brandeis University) reads Lubitsch's film as a parable of the descent of Garbo's gestural excess to bourgeois intelligibility, and thus, of the domestication of her very modernism. </jats:p>
