Kinski's vampire is a desperate figure, almost helpless, trapped within his own everlasting terror, his longing never satified. We are meant to pity him, as he cannot change what he has become - best film ever
The choice of the Rheingold is not accidental: in the prelude Wagner wanted to put in music the Shopenhauer theory of the nature reigns, describing the movement from the inorganic nature to the spirituality. I think the wander to Nosferatu correspond perfectly to this meaning. This scene is really a manifest of the german Romanticism from all the points of view: philosophy, music, painting ...
You know I've seen alot of vampire movies especially ones about Dracula from the famous to the more obscure, but somehow I always felt the menace of the journey to Dracula's castle more than any other version. I guess it's because he's going by foot and we get to see the landscape more, but I just feel the build-up that there's something there in the mountains. It's certainly one of the most beautiful versions and manages to be a great remake and it's own thing too. This scene alone says so much
I contrabbassi suonano in MIb grave con una leggera 'scordatura' - come voleva Wagner - producendo un effetto di 'rumore'.
I fagotti attaccano sfasati di 2 battute suonando in Sib - che con il Mib - formano la cosiddetta quinta vuota: responsabile di quell'atmosfera di indefinito e misterioso... la natura nel suo fluire primordiale e esoterico.
@jakethesnake10000 I think it's great, because the sort of person who likes Herzog's films is likely going to be cultured enough to know who Friedrich is, and appreciate the similarities between the works.
@JMillerBayRidge A really bad movie? Cheesy 80's music? What music? Please elaborate. This film is great. It's so mesmerizing, mystical and poetic. The performances, music and photography were great. Klaus Kinski gave the best performance as Count Dracula. No other actor gave a better performance as a vampire (I'll admit that Max Schreck was far more frightening). I think it's the best remake ever made.
Beauty at tis highest point. This was my first experience of Herzog's art. I saw the film at 16, when it was published in a small movie theatre built in an old cellar of stone blocks absolutely corresponding with the atmosphere of the film. I was with my mother and both we were instantly fans of Herzog.
It's a shame to have to compare this to the original all the time, but it's impossible when significant events occurr that also happened in Murnau's version. I like this, but it also shows how much more powerfully and directly Murnau did it.
This is perhaps partly because the modern director is compelled to use equipment which stunts imagination in the viewer.
@Raford146 I do love this film because it is so beautiful and atmospheric and the scene where Lucy walks through the town square with all the mad townspeople is something that will stick with me forever. However, my sole criticism of the film is that Kinski's vampire is a pathetic figure rather than a frightening one. I was hoping to be scared and all I felt was pity.
That's not necessarily a bad thing though. It's just not what you expected. You can't criticize something for being something you didn't expect it to be.
Also, Kinski's vampire not frightening? He brought the plague to Wismar and other new lands, killed hundreds, maybe thousands. He might not have been a typical Hollywood monster, but he was certainly monstrous. Herzog put emphasis on Nosferatu being cursed rather than just evil, making him a sickly creature, which is just as creepy.
@PrivateSchemers1 Yes, I actually agree. I had to make the adjustment from thinking it would be a "scary" film to more of a disturbing, sad film. I still love it.
@iluvgoldfrapp Excalibur was twice the film with Carmana Burana and Parsifal music wrapped in there, imagine that film without them, OK but not as good. Imagine 2001 without the same tracks. Its such a shame that techno and explosions have become standard fare, I like techno and explosions but film needs to be more than Michael Bay. There needs to be more than 4 cookie cutter film types, more than 5 simple outfits a film can wear. Nosferatu is like Nat King Cole, while Twlight is Lady Gaga.
Krashly 71 said "Maybe the average IQ of viwers has dropped so low its become the standard to produce Twilight level films that no longer challenge viewers, snipt" It's all a symptom of the decay of society and the erosion of culture. See if you can get an average 15 year old to sit through Citizen Kane (or Fitzcarraldo for that matter).
I agree that Nosferatu is on a whole different level than Twilight. I also agree that the Twilight films can be quite stupid. However, I don't think I have a low I.Q. for liking the first film. Sometimes fluff is fun. Deal with it.
As a matter of practical importance, shouldn't there be a road that connects the mountain castle to a village in the valley? How else would goods be transported to the castle?
Hey krashly71, fuck you - what have you ever done? All you all you do is complain about Twighlight. And I can't "listen" to what's happening on this low budget film, it's done in German and all I can do is read the subtitles, Oh and Klaus looks great with his obviously fake front teeth, as good as Kinski is, a little more work on realism would have made it a lot better. The music is stolen and many of the scenes are right out of the 1922 movie.
Master Herzog on the DVD comment reveals that he made a huge battle againts FOX to preserve this very same sequence...he critizices the thendency of the mainstream movie makers of making everything quick-paced...such a beautiful scene like this from twilight to nightfall has a strange force over you as a viewer, like you yourself are on those mountains watching the clouds flow and everything being shrouded in darkness
The point is that Herzog back then was right to let this exist withing his work, he conceived a sense of transition from the real and the unreal beneath the shadows, to allow the public to see something rare times in life you're allowed to see and feel; and even better: to make it part of the storytelling.
He also confesses that if he would make things over again, it might not be the same as slow paced...so we have to be thankful of this man's vision, imagination and determination as artist
@castingtherunes - Oh .... my bad ;-) Very witty of you in that case. I must admit I wondered why a Twilighter would buy the Nosferatu soundtrack. I adore the music of Popol Vuh but I have yet to buy it myself.
@Chockarblock Other vampire flicks I like are Let The Right One In, Daughters of Darkness, The Reflecting Skin, Martin and Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Now you know for deadly certain that I'm not a Twilight fan!
I bought the Nosferatu soundtrack and less than a quarter of the film's music is on it. Most of the album has Indian numbers. Strange. If anyone knows of a proper Nosferatu soundtrack, let me know.
Blood was flowing through my veins while this film was being conceived and when it was born unto the screen. I know in my blood that this is the best representation of Bram Stokers Dracula in film that exists. The score, the characters, the locations. everything Herzog details sets up the next scene with purpose and fear. Great experience, we are blessed to have Herzog on this planet.
Saying Twilight is a joke compared to this has got to be one of the biggest understatements of all time. I was litterally hypnotised by this movie: simply brilliant. The music is almost achingly beautiful. The only flaw in my opinion was the fact the voices were dubbed: that is always distracting, no matter how hard you try to ignore it.Bruno Ganz seems (despite all the great roles he played) always somewhat underrated: The Himmel uber Berlin and Der Untergang are some of his best performances.
It's a poem of images full of romantic references. This is not a movie, it is a literary masterpiece in which the souls of Goethe and Shilling are telling us to believe in the force of Nature.
Ja und Nein. Die Musik dient hier rein atmosphärischen Zwecken. Mit dem mythologischen Hintergrund der Wagner-Oper steht der Dracula-Stoff ja in keinerlei Verbindung.
Suona come se fosse stato cantato in un monastero budista zen,vedere l`´ultimo samurai...e allo stesso tempo Richard Strauss avesse deciso de comporre Eine Alpine Simphonie.Don`´t you think so? Juan,desde Sevilla,after the Fair from April¨:baile por sevillanas,Tio Pepe y 36 degrees temperature.
No idea how many times I saw this movie in the last 20 years - countless times!
Interesting - the part, where Harker walks around 1:00, is a place called Partnachglam (a slight drive south from Munich) - used to hang out there (it's even more magnificent in the winter, when snow and ice is around), drinking "Obstler" to keep warm.
incredible intro! I must see the rest. And also see the original Murnau Nosferatu, which Werner Herzog was clearly alluding to. And come to think of it, there's some "Heart of Darkness" in this like many of his other movies.
Maybe the average IQ of viwers has dropped so low its become the standard to produce Twilight level films that no longer challenge viewers and do not require them to think, judge, sympathize, or absorb, they just sit and smile at the colorful shapes like preschoolers at a puppet show. Nosferatu demands a viewer watch, listen, and truly see whats happening, its a work of art. It doesnt bribe you with effects, sex or marketing, it just is. Its sad how stupid people are.
You definitely have a point here. I remember at the end of "No Country for Old Men" how many viewers were grumbling when the lights came up--as if they thought they were going to see Lethal Weapon 9.
BUT, these films are the result of an artist working in a traditionally "exploitation" genre, and do not really function as mainstream cinema.
I would say that Hammer's "Horror of Dracula" contains the perfect balance of blood/sex/action in a Dracula film, ...but is it art?
I don't watch vampire movies anymore unless the vampires look like rock stars and know karate (kidding). Interesting choice by Herzog to use a hand held camera here on the intro.
Check out "Let the Right One In." Its on youtube. Understated and artsy.
@krashly71 The movies from Herzog are brilliant. Nosferatu is a tribute to the Mornau's creation. A reborn of german expresionism. I also like "Aguirre" a lot, but I have never seen Fitzcarraldo. I also like Barry Lyndon from S. Kubrick, and Waterloo.
@krashly71 You're calling millions of people stupid simply because their line of thinking is different than yours, that implies a sort of ignorance on your part as well.
@aryan2687 if you know the nature of the Twilight films you cant possibly argue that fans of it are not intellectually challenged. When Doctor Zhivago gave way to Harry Potter as what constitutes a good film, the world began to die. I dont think people who disagree with me are stupid, just people who find Twilight to be engaging and well written.....In short, its KRAPP.(insert Scottish accent here)
@krashly71 quote.."Nosferatu demands a viewer watch, listen, and truly see whats happening, its a work of art. It doesnt bribe you with effects, sex or marketing, it just is.".......Very Well said .....my sentiments exactly
It is clearly that Hollywood is not the place to be if you want to do something valuable.
I do not pretend to sound like an intellectual but seriously ... no one seems to like thinking, no one reads no one listens to good music no one values good movies, only special fx and a story covered in sugar and colours.
@krashly71 it is sad. there is more language in these herzog long shots, than there is in 50 pages of dialogue in some hollywood movies. you make a great point when you speak of films no longer "challenging" their viewers. i fear we are losing our collective imagination in some ways.
Twilight is made for teenage girls and pop music fans, nosferatu was made for adults with imagination. Twilight is candy, Nosferatu is caviar, appreciated by those with the taste and depth to understand it. Any air-headed teenager can watch twilight, its a pretty boy, brooding music video. Twilight is a joke, a Lindsey Lohan IQ level NOsferatuCant even compare the 2 really..
Agreed, but the comparison stands, chicken nuggets vs lobster tail, there is no comparing this work of cinema to modern trash produced for marketing tie-ins and high school crowds. Its like Dr. Zhivago vs Snakes on a Plane, a sane mind doesnt even weigh those 2 films in the same thought process. Its all about the average IQ of the audience, any film can be benchmarked. Citizen Kane requires a 90 to 100 score, High School Musical about 30...Nosferatu about 90-100 to appreciate, Twilight about 35
Can anyone tell me, who is the conducter (and the orchestra) of the Wagner Rheingold Vorspiel, that can be heard from minute 2:55 onwards in this scene? Do answer, please, if You are sure!
the city scenes were filmed in Holland, in Delft and Schiedam.the mountain scenes were filmed in the Tatras, Slovakia. Dracula' castle is Orava Castle, also in Slovakia
Are you sure Schnurrbert? I read somewhere these country scenes were filmed in Czechoslovakia. I know for sure that the city scenes were shot in Holland.

Suona come se fosse stato cantato in un monastero budista zen,vedere l`´ultimo samurai...e allo stesso tempo Richard Strauss avesse deciso de comporre Eine Alpine Simphonie.Don`´t you think so? Juan,desde Sevilla,after the Fair from April¨:baile por sevillanas,Tio Pepe y 36 degrees temperature.

I have the original Nosferatu from 1922 and it is great! Is this one worth watching?

Grazie ad Alessandro 1985 per aver pubblicato questo video.
Un bellissimo film con musiche straordinariamente evocative che poteva scaturire solamente dalla "vecchia" cultura della nostra Europa.
Dal "Nuovo Mondo" non possono altro che ammirare questo cinema che con poco ottiene il massimo effetto.

This film is about life, not about dead. It is a hymn in praise of love and the life that could be. One of the best movies of the great Herzog!!

No idea how many times I saw this movie in the last 20 years - countless times!
Interesting - the part, where Harker walks around 1:00, is a place called Partnachglam (a slight drive south from Munich) - used to hang out there (it's even more magnificent in the winter, when snow and ice is around), drinking "Obstler" to keep warm.
Always had the soundtrack on my mind ... :)

incredible intro! I must see the rest. And also see the original Murnau Nosferatu, which Werner Herzog was clearly alluding to. And come to think of it, there's some "Heart of Darkness" in this like many of his other movies.

Wagner's Das Rheingold is a perfect fit in this part the movie.......a very special film

Maybe the average IQ of viwers has dropped so low its become the standard to produce Twilight level films that no longer challenge viewers and do not require them to think, judge, sympathize, or absorb, they just sit and smile at the colorful shapes like preschoolers at a puppet show. Nosferatu demands a viewer watch, listen, and truly see whats happening, its a work of art. It doesnt bribe you with effects, sex or marketing, it just is. Its sad how stupid people are.

You definitely have a point here. I remember at the end of "No Country for Old Men" how many viewers were grumbling when the lights came up--as if they thought they were going to see Lethal Weapon 9.
BUT, these films are the result of an artist working in a traditionally "exploitation" genre, and do not really function as mainstream cinema.
I would say that Hammer's "Horror of Dracula" contains the perfect balance of blood/sex/action in a Dracula film, ...but is it art?

I don't watch vampire movies anymore unless the vampires look like rock stars and know karate (kidding). Interesting choice by Herzog to use a hand held camera here on the intro.
Check out "Let the Right One In." Its on youtube. Understated and artsy.

@krashly71 The movies from Herzog are brilliant. Nosferatu is a tribute to the Mornau's creation. A reborn of german expresionism. I also like "Aguirre" a lot, but I have never seen Fitzcarraldo. I also like Barry Lyndon from S. Kubrick, and Waterloo.

@krashly71 You're calling millions of people stupid simply because their line of thinking is different than yours, that implies a sort of ignorance on your part as well.
aryan2687 1 year ago
@aryan2687 if you know the nature of the Twilight films you cant possibly argue that fans of it are not intellectually challenged. When Doctor Zhivago gave way to Harry Potter as what constitutes a good film, the world began to die. I dont think people who disagree with me are stupid, just people who find Twilight to be engaging and well written.....In short, its KRAPP.(insert Scottish accent here)

@krashly71 Humanity is starting to worry me...
It is clearly that Hollywood is not the place to be if you want to do something valuable.
I do not pretend to sound like an intellectual but seriously ... no one seems to like thinking, no one reads no one listens to good music no one values good movies, only special fx and a story covered in sugar and colours.

@krashly71 it is sad. there is more language in these herzog long shots, than there is in 50 pages of dialogue in some hollywood movies. you make a great point when you speak of films no longer "challenging" their viewers. i fear we are losing our collective imagination in some ways.

Twilight is made for teenage girls and pop music fans, nosferatu was made for adults with imagination. Twilight is candy, Nosferatu is caviar, appreciated by those with the taste and depth to understand it. Any air-headed teenager can watch twilight, its a pretty boy, brooding music video. Twilight is a joke, a Lindsey Lohan IQ level NOsferatuCant even compare the 2 really..

Agreed, but the comparison stands, chicken nuggets vs lobster tail, there is no comparing this work of cinema to modern trash produced for marketing tie-ins and high school crowds. Its like Dr. Zhivago vs Snakes on a Plane, a sane mind doesnt even weigh those 2 films in the same thought process. Its all about the average IQ of the audience, any film can be benchmarked. Citizen Kane requires a 90 to 100 score, High School Musical about 30...Nosferatu about 90-100 to appreciate, Twilight about 35

i think its the best most beliveable vampire film made.
The only reserve i have is the ending..theres no blood ! ..not even one drop! Nosferatu has sucked her dry and theres no blood on his teeth or lips.
