Join the Faculty of Arts & Letters to watch and discuss the 1927 film "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans."
While a narrative centering on an unfaithful husband rekindling his love for his wife during a spontaneous trip to the city should not work. Yet, "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" subverts expectations, turning a potentially toxic melodrama into a suspenseful, emotionally gripping masterpiece. The 100-year-old film shattered boundaries to become a technical powerhouse and one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever made.
