1927
Sunrise
A sophisticated urban woman seduces a farmer in the hopes that he will murder his neglected wife and join her in the city, but he ends up rekindling his romance with his wife when she discovers their scheme.
My takeA timeless silent melodrama about temptation and second chances. This is for anyone drawn to sophisticated psychological tension and stories about what we truly want—delivered with the visual poetry and moral complexity that only 1920s cinema can offer.
