Over the Edge: The Herzog Restorations Part One
NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE
Directed by Werner Herzog
West Germany, 1979, 1h 47min, DCP, In German, English, and Romany with English subtitles.
There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.
This remarkably faithful remake of Murnau’s pioneering silent horror film stars Klaus Kinski as the rat-faced Prince Of Darkness who brings his pestilence to Britain from far-off Transylvania. With Bruno Ganz as Jonathan Harker and Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker. Herzog achieves a cold distance that makes the vampire’s evil almost palpable. A perfectly nightmarish Halloween treat.
