Slog - Comments on Sunrise on Friday http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/sunrise_on_friday I've been as good as unconscious all weekend, due to the nasty cold that's circulating, but I wanted to write one last SIFF post about the showing of F.W. Murnau's Sunrise at the Triple Door on Friday. The Album Leaf, who Eric Grandy interviewed here, performed a new score for the movie. Sunrise is amazing--one of the greatest movies of all time, and one of the first to really, completely understand what can and can't be done in a movie.
