Review of Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) by Jeremy S — 02 Sep 2007

Reputed to be one of the crowning achievements of the silent era (and the first movie to be awarded an "artistic" Academy Award), Sunrise is steeped in prestige and rightfully so. Still, for my money, The Last Laugh was actually superior(more entertaining, more technically awesome, more surprising) - Sunrise sags a little in the middle (a pig drinking wine?) and seems a little more dated than other silents I've seen.
