Sunrise: Analysis of Film Form, Context, Aesthetics and Auteur Characteristics

[@Stogdad1]

This is my all-time favorite film, and I watched and studied it countless times. However, you provide some insights that I'd never considered, and that's an achievement.

I just watched this film today as a part of my Film Studies course and I really enjoyed it. I found it charming, witty, and really funny at times. I was impressed by it's ability to tell the narrative by implementing the 'show not tell' rhetoric in its realest form. I think the expressionist style is wonderful to watch on screen, and I'm really glad I have the opportunity to discuss it. Thanks for this video explaining the various techniques implemented in the film, I found them really useful.

You are welcome and I hope your studies go well! You are right about 'show not tell'. There are very few intertitles in the film and long passages with none at all - a huge influence on Hitchcock, who would also go on to include extended sequences with no dialogue. Murnau's The Last Laugh has only one intertitle in the entire film and that is a joke about the film's narrative conclusion. Best wishes.
