SUNRISE: A song of Two Humans (1927)

SUNRISE is a silent monochrome melodrama by FW Murnau about the rekindling of true love. In a lakeside village, a farmer is seduced away from his wife by a beguiling woman from the city who convinces him to murder his wife so they can live together, but things turn out a little differently…

Directed by German genius F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) in his Hollywood debut, this silent art movie has a fairytale story with subtle performances, technical innovations and a remarkable evocation of moods and passions. 

One of the most imaginative films ever made and probably the greatest ever made about love.
