Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
Directed by F.W. Murnau
Written by Carl Mayer, Hermann Sudermann and Katherine Hilliker
Starring: George O’Brien, Janet Gaynor, Margaret Livingston
Synopsis:
A sophisticated city woman seduces a farmer, who just happens to be married. What could go wrong?
“This is one of the few movies that fully deserves all the raves that it gets. Some movies are artistic masterpieces more to be admired than enjoyed, leaving the viewer feeling a little distant; other movies can be enjoyable and satisfying to watch, but with obvious artistic defects. “Sunrise” is a nearly perfect movie that is impressive in every detail, and it is also a joy to watch, offering moments of suspense and tension and other moments of humor and humanity.” (IMDb)
“The culmination of one of the greatest careers in film history, F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise blends a story of fable-like simplicity with unparalleled visual imagination and technical ingenuity.” (Masters of Cinema)
