- Summary:
- Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) was the first film made in America by the celebrated German director F. W. Murnau. It mediates between German expressionism and American melodrama, the avant-garde and popular fiction, silent cinema and "talkies". A lavish production famous for its specially constructed sets, Sunrise was one of Hollywood's most ambitious undertakings. Lucy Fisher locates the film within historical, aesthetic, and philosophical contexts.
