Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans: BFI Film Classics 
Fischer, Lucy
Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (1927) is one of the most historically pivotal of all films. A lavish and sumptuous production, it was the first film made in America by the celebrated German director F.W. Murnau, who also directed Nosferatu (1922).

Sunrise mediates between German expressionism and American melodrama, the Avant-Garde and popular fiction, silent cinema and 'talkies'. A lavish and sumptuous production famous for its vast, specially constructed sets, Sunrise was one of Hollywood's most ambitious undertakings.

Lucy Fischer's book is a model of film analysis, which locates Sunrise in a fascinating range of historical aesthetic and philosophical contexts.
