Considered by many to be the zenith of the silent age, F.W. Murnau’s masterwork tells the tale of a married farmer from the country. When he falls for a sophisticated woman from the city, she manipulates him into the decision to kill his wife. Janet Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Sunrise, which, with its strikingly expressive images, is a stunning example of pure cinema. “Simple, and intense images of unequalled beauty.”—Time Out Film Guide.
