This is the hight of film-making of this period. Only in terms of specific famous scenes does Lang's Metropolis (released the same year as this) surpass this movie. In terms of overall acting and cinematography, Sunrise is the most impressive silent film that I've ever seen. Really, it probably was at the top of its art for at least ten years after it was made.
Most certainly a textbook of silent film techniques, a visual experimentation and the perfect blend of comedy, romance, drama, fantasy, suspense, horror etc. from Murnau. Not to mention, one of the greatest films ever made.
With all the unbeatable comedy that came out of the silent era, particularly Keaton and Lloyd, this scene is one of the funniest ever - the naive young couple believing they've damaged the photographer's statue. Priceless.
Ahhhh, back in the days where you don't really need paper money notes. Just coins for everything in a tiny gay man coin purse.

Hi, Prague, and I'm a Keaton fan too! The
photograph sequence is wonderful, especially
when he thinks they're newlyweds.

Well, in a way, they are, having just reestablished their relationship during the wedding scene. How I love this movie.
