Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (USA,1927)

"For wherever the sun rises and sets in the city's turnmoil or under the open sky on the farm life is much the same; sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet".

This Victorian era silent film used double exposures for its special effects.

Adding words to explain each scene hadn't caught on yet. The audience had to interpret what was happening visually.
