What critics compared Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans to
You’ll find visual inspiration from F.W. Murnau’s “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans” and the lowdown scuzz works of Frank Henenlotter.
In the grand scheme of all movies ever made—including, say, F.W. Murnau’s exquisite 1927 silent film Sunrise and the totally useless 2015 Entourage movie—the line between a super-awesome Marvel movie and a bad one is cellophane-thin.
…you should immediately watch F.W. Murnau’s “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans,” a 1927 tear-jerker about another killer date where where the on-screen text “Couldn’t she get drowned?” sinks into a murky lake…
It is as wildly hopeful about the matter of romance as canonical greats like Borzage (“History Is Made At Night”) and Murnau (“Sunrise”) and Powell-Pressburger (“A Matter of Life and Death”) and bluntly meta about the edifices of its very premises.
