Nosferatu (Murnau, 1922): Castle Cinema, 7.30pm
This is a 16mm screening from the Cine-Real team and is also being shown on January 26th.
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.
