I love Werner Herzog's films! They don't have the sense of separation that you feel when you're watching a normal film, they are completely absorbing and make you feel like you're literally there experiencing the world he has created. The faces of the people he casts are so unusual and remarkable and add to the sense of time period. And Kinski just destroys my soul.
@steptocarpus He also had very gentle and heartwarming features but people like to see things in extremes and so it was more sensational to show him in situations where he was angry and mad at people.
@steptocarpus Yes- that is where I got the information from- there is a quite informative documentary by Werner Herzog, who was a close friend of Klaus'. He tried to explain that Klaus had a problem in expressing and filtering his emotions in an appropriate way. According to Herzog he had a great deal of "heartwarmth" and compassion for other people but he was lost in the depth and confusion of his emotions. Though he must have been a quite exhausting and difficult person I guess, I like him :-)
one day I'd like to do my own version of nosferatu, just like this film I'd really focus on the lonliness of the count. there would also be a lynch scene in there somewhere.
@TheEvilelvis89 I'm looking at doing my own spin off it. All I feel comfortable saying is that it will be at best based off this version of the vampire, ie my own plot and stuff.
Great movie about the "making" of the original silent version with John Malkovich as F.W. Murnau and Willem Dafoe as the actor Max Schreck who is not only the vampire of the film, but one in real life known only by the director.
I remember the movie critic Gene Shalit talking about a version or a film of the making of Nosferatu and something about the fact that they used a real vampire. Does anyone know anything about that? or did I dream it?......
You dreamed it: there are no vampires as per Nosferatu. But there is a movie with John Malkovich playing FW Murnau & Willem Dafoe as the actor Max Schreck, who, in this entertaining movie is a real vampire. Agree with lyriz465; highly recommended.
He doesn't gave a permit to film? Good for him! :D

That's SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE.
Great movie about the "making" of the original silent version with John Malkovich as F.W. Murnau and Willem Dafoe as the actor Max Schreck who is not only the vampire of the film, but one in real life known only by the director.
Wonderful movie. Highly recommended!

Sorry. But this is Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu the Vampyre" from 1979. The Original silent version is from the 1922.
