'Sunrise' was one of the last silent films. And as such is proof of why so many filmmakers lamented the coming of sound. It is a lovely and very powerful motion picture of love and the power of fidelity in marriage. |
If you have never see a Cecil B. DeMille film, this is a good one to see. |
The live accompaniment really adds to the drama and power of the experience. It is a very rare opportunity. |
There is something very special about seeing a motion picture on film ...it gives a richness and a fullness that a video image does not. You're seeing these films as they were meant to be seen. |
We are attempting not only to show the great movies of the past, but we are also reproducing the very experience that people saw it in when these films were first released. |
You can't see films of this vintage on film and on the big screen. It is quite a powerful film of faith. |
