nosferatu the vampyre (1979)


aka Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht.
"Death is not the worst. There are things more horrible than death."
Jonathan Harker (Bruno Gantz) is an estate agent who brokers a deal with Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) to buy a property in Varna Harker's home town. It is only when he meets Dracula that Harker realises the horror he has unleashed on the world, and on his wife Lucy (Isabelle Adjani) in particular. Can Dr. Van Helsing (Walter Ladengast) really help rid the world of this plague?
A thoughtful re-imaging of the classic Nosferatu, giving it a disturbing and brooding unease. Added to by the medative score by Popul Vuh.
