SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS stands as the pinnacle of F.W. Murnau’s directorial craft. Every scene is filled with life, vitality, and intensity, from the performances of its actors as well as the hauntingly beautiful visual compositions created by the camerawork, art direction and postproduction effects. The film elegantly tells the simple tale of a farmer (George O’Brian) who is seduced by a woman from the city (Margret Livingston) and tempted into murdering his wife (Janet Gaynor)
