Nosferatu the Vampyre (DVD)

Nosferatu the VampyreNormalGenre: World CinemaLabel: BFIDescription: Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz Downfall) lives with his wife Lucy (Isabelle Adjani La reine Margot) in the idyllic town of Wismar where he works as an estate agent. In spite of grim omens Harker ventures deep into the Carpathian Mountains to close a property deal with the strangest of clients the sickly tormented Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski Aguirre The Wrath of God). Werner Herzog's masterful contribution to the vampire canon is both a tribute to the 1922 silent Nosferatu and a thoughtful chiller in its own right. Kinski's exquisite performance Herzog's painterly images and Popul Vuh's ethereal music combine to create one of horror cinema's most hypnotic and seductive experiences.
