Movie Reviews of Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (Limited Edition)
Movie Review: Sunrise - An Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Fans of Janet Gaynor and George O'Brien will love this fabulous, multi-faceted film from near the end of the Silent Era. The relationship between husband and wife O'Brien and Gaynor must be seen to be believed. This movie, about forgiveness and redemption, is enhanced by the direction of F.W. Murnau, who blends a sombre German expressionism, as well as comedy, into this unique, American film. There is also a fine performance by Margaret Livingston, who plays the other woman in the story. This is a beautifully photographed, and well-preserved, motion picture that many viewers will want to see more than once.
Summary of Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (Limited Edition)
There are those who rate Sunrise the greatest of all silent films. Then again, some consider it the finest film from any era. Such claims invite a backlash, but do yourself a favor and give it a look. At the very least, you'll know you've seen a movie of extraordinary visual beauty and emotional purity. This universal tale of a farm couple's journey from country to city and back again was the first American film for F.W. Murnau, the German director of Nosferatu and The Last Laugh whose everyday scenes seemed haunted by phantoms and whose most extravagant visions never lost touch with reality. Hollywood afforded him the technical resources to unleash his imagination, and in turn he opened up the power of camera movement and composition for a generation of American filmmakers. You'll never forget the walk in the swamp, the ripples on the lake, the trolley ride from forest to metropolis. This movie defines the cinema. --Richard T. JamesonDrama DVD Video
