Nosferatu the Vampyre (Herzog, 1979): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.10pm
This film is part of the Werner Herzog season at BFI Southbank and is also being screened on January 24th ad 27th. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Werner Herzog's 1979 remake of F.W. Murnau's classic vampire film is a
flop as a horror movie, but it works as a string of Herzogian epiphanies
centered on death and the apocalypse. The acting is too eccentric and
the narrative drive too weak to satisfy fans of the genre, but Herzog's
admirers will find much in the film's animistic landscapes and clusters
of visionary imagery. The largely superfluous cast includes Klaus Kinski
as the decaying count, Isabelle Adjani as the pure-hearted heroine, and
the excellent Bruno Ganz as the paralyzed hero.
