Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans


Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
IMDB #190 [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018455/]

The Gist:
A weird hybrid of a silent film, mixing the art house sensibilities of German Expressionism with the more entertaining elements of Classic Hollywood. The result is a fascinating film, with harrowing moments but a rather irreconcilable tonal shift that can make or break the film for you. That issue is this, once your husband tries to violently kill and then sees his mistake and repents, are you really going to forgive him and be all affectionate and lovey dovey with him less than an hour after the incident? Just saying.
