Capital Celluloid 2024 — Day 357: Tue Dec 31

 Nosferatu (Murnau, 1922): BFI IMAX, 5.15pm


This is an IMAX screening.

Chicago Reader review:
A masterpiece of the German silent cinema and easily the most effective version ofDracula on record. F.W. Murnau's 1922 film follows the Bram Stoker novel fairly closely, although he neglected to purchase the screen rights—hence, the title change. But the key elements are all Murnau's own: the eerie intrusions of expressionist style on natural settings, the strong sexual subtext, and the daring use of fast-motion and negative photography.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
