This week we're joined by Mark Anastasio, program director for the Coolidge Corner Cinema in Boston to cash checks and bite necks with a look at Werner Herzog's ambitious remake of the FW Murnau's 1922 not-Dracula adaptation, Nosferatu. Mark has first-hand experience with Herzog, having hosted him at the theater numerous times and regales us with stories that we've never heard about the man before. He also does a pretty good Werner Herzog impression.
In this movie, Herzog is joined by his creative arch-frenemy Klaus Kinski in a unique existential twist on one of the genres most unimpeachable classics. Here, Count Dracula is bunched, broken old monster with no desire to live but no path toward death. He brings pestilence and horror from the old world to then-modern day Germany and meets his match with the one woman in the city with the knowledge and determination to destroy the beast.
Featuring Herzog's stunning visual storytelling and a few utterly bizarre performances, Nosferatu is unlike any horror movie you've ever seen in spite of it being a story told and retold dozens of times since the dawn of film.
