Review of Sunrise (1985) by Jayakrishnan R — 05 Apr 2016
Long before Hollywood completely demolished the reality of "true love" through decades of crappy rom-coms, Murnau was critiquing infatuation-based relationships in this visually arresting and heartbreakingly sweet romance.
In lieu of the ubiquitous butterflies-in-the-tummy, it uses the natural fading of passion overtime as a jumping off point for real, commitment-based love. With more than enough lightness and humor, we are easily carried through its heavy yet affecting melodrama.
