Sunrise:
A Song of Two Humans
(F.W. Murnau, 1927)
This film was one of the first to
feature an abstract and surreal montage sequence as a way of
storytelling. It used a combination of models, live action,
photographs, animation and clever editing to create this madness of
the city, the place for which a 1920's vamp is trying to tempt a
married countryman to. The overlaying of imagery as well as the
combination of two different pieces of music, creates a wild and
almost hysterical short sequence.
