Silent Melodrama Film
With a plot to appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience, and sometimes complemented with an exaggerated acting style well suited to the demands of silent cinema, melodrama came in many forms during the silent era. DW Griffith's films with Lillian Gish are prime examples, while the director FW Murnau used, and extended, the format in Sunrise to create a film that was named by Cahiers du Cinema in 1967 as 'the single greatest masterwork in the history of the cinema'.
