 NOSFERATU
THE
VAMPYRE
With
Klaus
Kinski,
Isablle
Adjani,
Bruno
Ganz
Directed
by
Werner
Hertzog
For
this
project
a
better
director
and
actor
combination
could
not
have
been
chosen
than
this.
The
meticulous
Hertzog
and
the
intensity-to-the-extent-of-insanity
of
Kinski
have
led
to
some
great
collaborative
efforts
like
Aguirre
The
Wrath
Of
God,
and
Fitzcaraldo.
Here
the
classic
silent
1922
vampire
film
by
German
director
F.W.
Murnau
(based
on
Bram
Stoker’s
Dracula)
is
remade
over
half
a
century
later
(1979)
with
utter
mastery
by
two
of
his
countrymen.
Not
trying
to
recreate
the
film
shot-by-shot,
nor
attempting
to
change
it
completely,
everything
in
this
remake
is
incredible,
from
the
locations
and
music,
to
Kinski’s
creepy
look
and
Adjani’s
stunning
beauty.
Since
it
is
a
period
piece,
the
film
cannot
date
and
should
be
seen
by
all.
But
do
yourself
a
favour
and
watch
the
original
first.
