Скачать или смотреть Sunrise - The Greatest Silent Ever?

For many, `Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans' represents one of the greatest artistic achievement made in silent film - possibly the greatest of all.

The entire film was shot on a soundstage, allowing Murnau absolute control over the action as an aesthetic experience. A progenitor of what was labelled the `unchained camera', he used deep perspective and long tracking shots to give the world of his film a feeling of three-dimensionality, particularly in the frenetic city scenes.

Though critically lauded and the recipient of several of the first Academy Awards, it was only a modest financial success. Murnau lived only a few years into the sound era, dying in a car accident in 1931.
