Nosferatu, The Vampyre
Directed by Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog’s 1979 NOSFERATU remake stars the ghoulish German actor Klaus Kinski, French siren Isabelle Adjani (POSSESSION), and Bruno Ganz. Herzog, who was famous for creeping people out with intense documentaries and narrative films, took a surprising turn with this adaptation of both DRACULA and F.W. Murnau’s original NOSFERATU, which was an illegal adaptation of the novel itself. Herzog’s version is an unusually contemplative Dracula, in which the vampire bears the cross of not being able to get old and die. Watch it back to back with the original.

Blown away by this film. Just absolutely stunning visually with incredible performances. Def recommend watching the original and this back to back.
Honestly I slightly prefer this over the original classic. Both together would make for a marvelous double bill. Hint hint.
This is just incredible. Herzog and Kinski delivered one hell of a film here.
