F.W. Murnau’s beautiful portrait of human fallibility is regarded by many as one of the most visually stunning and emotionally rich silent films ever made. Chronicling the murderous desires and repentance of a young farmer whose domestic bliss is threatened by the arrival of a voluptuous city vamp, it’s Murnau’s stunning expressionist imagery beautifully evokes the inner passion, pain and romanticism that’s at the heart this love triangle.

Why Sunrise? Derrick explains:

“Of at least half a dozen silent movies I can think of that deserve to be revisited, I chose Murnau’s Sunrise because I love the image of the wicked city it represents.”
