(Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht)
Country: GER/FR
Technical: col 107m
Director: Werner Herzog
Cast: Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani, Bruno Ganz
Synopsis:
Jonathan Harker goes to Transylvania to convey the deeds of a house in Wismar, Germany, to Count Dracula. On noticing a photograph of Harker's wife, the Count has himself shipped to Wismar, with a cargo of plague-carrying rats.
Review:
Herzog's version of the familiar tale plays up the atmosphere and tones done the horror, inviting viewers to feel pity for the vampire, condemned to grow old but never die. Unfortunately, the storytelling is lacking in traction and the result, though visually striking, can be soporific.
