Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (repost)

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (BFI Film Classics) By Lucy Fischer
Publisher: British Film Institute 2008 | 79 Pages | ISBN: 0851706681 | PDF | 5 MB

Illustrated Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) is one of the most historically pivotal of all films. A lavish and sumptuous production, it was the first film made in America by the celebrated German director F.W. Murnau, who also directed Nosferatu (1922). Sunrise mediates between German expressionism and American melodrama, the Avant-Garde and popular fiction, silent cinema and "talkies." Lucy Fischer's book is a model of film analysis, locating Sunrise in a fascinating range of historical aesthetic and philosophical contexts.
