Sunrise

F.W. Murnau – Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (Trailer, 1927)

Wow.

Roger Ebert, on Sunrise:

Murnau, raised in the dark shadows of expressionism, pushed his images as far as he could, forced them upon us, haunted us with them. The more you consider “Sunrise” the deeper it becomes — not because the story grows any more subtle, but because you realize the real subject is the horror beneath the surface.
