F. W. Murnau’s SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS
(1927, 95 min)
George O’Brien and Janet Gaynor star in this silent masterpiece of passion, tension, and heartbreak.

Stunning cinematography, bold camera moves, and expressive lighting make every moment pulse with energy — from tender whispers to high-stakes drama. Sweeping landscapes, intimate gestures, and daring shots combine into a romantic silent film that captivates and mesmerizes, proving that cinema can make hearts race and emotions soar without a single spoken word.
