Reviews

Pauline Kael
New Yorker
The story is told in a flowing, lyrical German manner that is extraordinarily sensual, yet is perhaps too self-conscious, too fable-like for American audiences.

Any one who prefers an intelligent and stimulating film to the usual trash is urged to go and see it for himself.

From two points of view, Sunrise is among the most remarkable films that have ever been flashed on the screen. One is the rich, sensitive beauty of the photography; the other the tragic tenseness of the story.
