Attention, lovebirds! For Valentine's Day, the Cinefamily screens the classic black-and-white silent melodrama "Sunrise," by F.W. Murnau.
From the Cinefamily website:
Anses (George O'Brien), a sensitive and easily-swayed farmer, falls under the spell of The Woman From The City (Margaret Livingston), a jezebel who convinces him to run off with her -- but only after he murders his innocent wife Indre (Janet Gaynor). Murnau used his expert German Expressionist techniques to craft a fairytale ride through the tortured mental landscape of a man caught between devotion and seduction, making Sunrise (widely regarded as one of the best films ever made) the most vibrant of all his Hollywood productions.The running time is 95 minutes.
