Description
F.W. Murnau's (1888-1931) wonderful "Sunrise" was made just before 1927's "The Jazz Singer" spelled the end of the silent film, which only lasted from the early 1890's to 1930; the shortest period for any art form in history. Those who dislike silent cinema should put aside their prejudice and inhale this wonder. The cinematography By Charles Rosher (1885-1974) and Karl Struss (1886-1981) is simply extraordinary; utterly ravishing.
It is the first film to win an Oscar for cinematography.
