Let's talk Werner Herzog and Nosferatu.

Here's the happy opening credits.

'I was passing by the spring.
There I met a beautiful woman with a jug on her shoulder.
I spoke a word to her and she left, offended.
I was passing by the spring.'
is used to good effect in a chilling Danse Macabre scene.

If this clip of the arrival of Nosferatu's boat doesn't grab you, then there's not much hope for you.

You know, I never saw the remake only the one from the 20's.

marie pavie · 05-31-2011, 09:45 PM

There are tons of good remakes worth watching. Even some good spoofs.

I saw Kaspar Houser, listened to Canon in D at the beginning, started listening to classical and that helped me ace the music section of my world history class

There's still time for you guys to pick this up & grab a few beers & snacks before tonight.

Werner Herzog's Nosferatu is my favourite movie poster. I used to have a framed copy at one time. Good movie but I like his Aguirre: The Wrath of God better.

I love how the actors gestures and expressions are ott dramatic and theatrical like they are in the original due to the fact that was the style back then. In the modern version it adds an element of noir.

The music for that boat arriving says it all.

Related insane Kinski clip.
Gratuitous Nastassja (spamming my own thread).

I've seen Fitzcarraldo and have Cat People on DVD too but the film quality of my DVD is poor. If you are fan of the Kinskis then you must see Aguirre and Polanski's Tess of the D'Urbervilles (sp?), if you haven't already.

marie pavie · 09-30-2011, 04:02 PM

I had Zinskaro stuck in my head but couldn't place it. I knew I'd posted it here somewhere!

So did any a you bums watch it?

FreemanForPrez · 09-30-2011, 04:05 PM

How many of you out there knew that Blue Oyster Cult made a song about Nosferatu?
*raises hand*
Clicky
Cool song, cool video with clips from the original

Necross · 09-30-2011, 05:20 PM

Another good remake.

I have yet to actually watch any Nosferatu films, even though I really want to, but I do think that he's (it's?) the best vampire, mainly because he's both iconic and doesn't sparkle.

spartan0078 · 09-30-2011, 06:53 PM

I've always meant to watch this movie. Never got around to it, but hope to soon

Didn't Werner Herzog manage the Royals and the Cardinals?
