Description

Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (1927) is one of the most historically pivotal of all films. The first film made in America by German director F. W. Murnau, Sunrise mediates between German expressionism and American melodrama, the avant-garde and popular fiction, silent cinema and ‘talkies’. A lavish and sumptuous production famous for its vast, specially constructed sets, Sunrise was one of Hollywood’s most ambitious undertakings. Fischer’s book is a model of film analysis, which locates Sunrise in a fascinating range of historical, aesthetic and philosophical contexts.
