Review of Sunrise (1985) by Meghan L — 04 Feb 2009
This strikes me as a film with great elements rather than a great film. the plot is simple and has lots of discontinuities, but this is forgivable given the point of the movie. there are a ton of murnau's horror touches in the first half of the film but they seem campy and overemphasized.
the acting is better than in an average silent film but not the best I have seen. I did find myself relating to both leads quite a bit, however. the print is fine on the dvd and it has a nice score.
