Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) - The Danse Macabre Scene

[Sjemjaza]

The square is not in Schiedam, but in Delft. I know because I was born there! I have never seen this film before, but now I will. Isabelle Adjani is one of my favourite actresses and Kate Bush, who must have borrowed this music for her great song "Hello Earth", is my favourite singer. Great scene.

[pheobeboardman]

one word! stunning.

[009firefox]

This sequence is part of the song "Hello Earth" by Kate Bush!

[009firefox]

Or the ending of a song?

[009firefox]

Isn't this song on one of Kate Bush's albums?

[esquipulas]

what is the name of music?

[loxi59tica]

Reminds me of most of my nonsensical dreams.

I cycled through this square in Scheedam, Netherlands whilst on holiday in 2001, needless to say it was unrecognizable without plague victims and people trying to copulate with goats.

Very good sequence.

What a wonderful, wonderful film. Herzog is a genius and this is one of his finest moments. Beautiful film score too.

[ElectricRay]

One of the most powerful scenes in the history of cinema. Tsintskaro/Tsintsqaro/Zinzkaro however you spell it, that has to be one of the most haunting tunes on the planet.

[XtaticShock]

thank god for nosferatu!

[coolmandato]

I actually live in Georgia. And i had no idea that our best folk song was used in such good film. Oh yeah if you need link for Zinzkaro talk to me.

es erinnert an den mahl während der pestilenz, spätmittelalter

[sirvidia]

I found out, the version on the film is by "Vokal Ansambl Gordela" and is on a Russian issued disk from 1969 called "Georgian Folk Songs" - it's avalable for lots of money used, or in an import CD but i couldn't find any download.

[sirvidia]

what is this piece please?

[NatoBo]

It's Tsintskaro/ Zinzkaro/Cincyaro Rustavi Choir/Hamlet Gonashvili-It's a Georgian Folk Song

You can find it on youtube.

[sirvidia]

@NatoBo OOOOH, THANKS SO MUCH! I have some hamlet gonashvili and some georgian but didn't know this at all.

[sirvidia]

@NatoBo only hamlet gonashvili version i can find is from 1995. you sure it's him?

[NatoBo]

Hi, I,m positive it's him. He was/is very popular with most unique voice ever. You can find lots of it, e.g.: "Tsinskaro (or Zinskaro) - Hamlet Gonashvili, Rustavi Ensemble". )

[paisleybabee]

[gilrinterrupted]

[PostcardKittenMeow]

Welcome to Europe! ... it's still like this - it's great - especially at this time of year ... gloomy and beery and full of ghosts ... lovely:)

[Ironbudokan]

great film

[matheusmarchetti]

One of the best scenes in one of the best movies of all time

[riverhouse2007]

It was this scene which inspired me to repeat the Cochon de Poche film clip to the soundtrack of Black Raven (see video response above). This simple combination of funereal music with a jolly scene gives you a shocking new insight into how we really live - and if you repeat a short filmclip within one soundtrack you get the effect of a cycle that we can't get out of. Simple but powerful.

[gpholtz]

One of the most beautiful sequences I have ever seen !!!

[nahuelito21]

esta pelicula me gusto mucho, la pasaban por europa europa, y esta es la parte que mas me llamaba la atencion, en realidad expresaria como estamos hoy en dia en el mundo con el tema de la plaga y peste epidemica. Que podemos llegar a volvernos locos sin importar nada. Es triste y macabro...

[diegothedon]

The perfect example of how we walk in this world throughout the death and destruction of our societies where all people seem to feel accommodated and comfortable waiting for an uncertain end...but the end...

I need to improve my English sorry.

Excellent video.

[brcx300]

thats very true diegothedon, but I would say that it is a critique of modern sensibility, rather than human nature itself. The whole movie is a searing study of blood thirst, and the need for faith in morally standing up to it. This theme runs throughout Herzog's films, from the noblewoman's decision to walk into the jungle within Aguirre The Wrath of God to songs of blessings brought on by the little African girls when Cobra Verde's fall from power is anounced.
