— Notes —

We watched this 20th Century Fox bluray release of Sunrise for the show this week. Once again, we watched the Movietone version of the film.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans by Lucy Fischer — Here’s the link to the BFI Film Classics primer on Sunrise, and it’s a useful introduction and critical guide. If nothing else, BFI Film Classics primers are always a fantastic guide to further reading, and you’ll find a lot more resources on Murnau after reading this book.
Film Comment Summer 1971 Issue — This issue of Film Comment tackles Murnau – in addition to Welles and Ophuls – and provides insightful essays on each of his films. Molly Haskell wrote the essay discussing Sunrise.
