Last film before going to the US. In 1928 Sunrise won Oscars for Janet Gaynor as Best Actress and cinematography as a "Unique and Artistic Picture". In 1967 it was declared "the single greatest masterwork in the history of cinema" by key French new wave magazine Cahiers du Cinema. 3 Expressionist (among other things). Interesting to note how the tone and mood of expressionism (and other elements with German cinema) contributed to American film noir via German emigrants such as Lang. 4 Now restored to its original 5 hour running time. 5 Made in France, before he moved to USA. 6 A musical comedy that bombed, deservedly. 7 One of a number of limited melodramas from the 1950s
