SUNRISE w/ Live Score by MY EDUCATION
Sunday night at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here
SUNRISE, directed by German expressionist extraordinaire F.W. Murnau (NOSFERATU, FAUST), is one of the greatest silent films in the medium's rich history. It ranks with Dreyer's THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, Robert Weine's THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, Lang's METROPOLIS, Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS, and a small handful of other great masterpieces of visual cinema.
This stunning film tells the story of a philandering man who wants to murder his wife and make a run for it with his lover. But this fairy tale takes a turn for the fantastic when he has a change of heart and they embark on a second honeymoon of dazzling sights, visiting a great metropolis and partying at one of the wildest carnivals ever caught on film.
Murnau is remembered as one of our finest filmmakers because of his unique and imaginative visual style. The gorgeous visuals will be paired with the haunting and calamitous music of My Education. The band has been touring across the country with their original score for SUNRISE for the past two years, perfecting one of the most impressive silent film accompaniments of our time.
You are a fool if you miss this, which is sure to be the greatest silent film event of the weekend.
