When is a winner not a winner? When it's the retroactively demoted Unique and Artistic Picture, Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. But it's still a winner in the hearts of minds of many, and Mike and Jenny will explore the reasons why. This week we talk expressionism (a bit), the city vs the country, The Killing Joke, how film affects your brain, and how Sunrise's male lead could better channel his rage.
