Nosferatu - Idioteque.

An interesting piece of film from the 1920's

Nosferatu the Vampyre is a 1979 West German vampire horror film written and directed by Werner Herzog. Its original German title is Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht ("Nosferatu: Phantom of the Night"). The film is set primarily in 19th century Wismar, Germany and Transylvania, Romania, and was conceived as a stylistic remake of the 1922 German Dracula adaptation, Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. It stars Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula, Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker, Bruno Ganz as Jonathan Harker and French artist-writer Roland Topor as Renfield.


For me it displays an excellent use of light and camera angles. The music in this particular one gives the film more meaning and sets the setting of the scary atmosphere. You could also say that the sound track takes away from the original silent film.
