Carl Theodor Dreyer's VAMPYR (excerpt)
Loading...
Uploaded by jjobie on Dec 4, 2006
This is the beginning of the 1931 silent horror classic "VAMPYR" with Julian West & Henriette Gerard; directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer. There are some other clips of the film up on YouTube but the quality wasn't so great so I decided to try to upload some better encodes. If there's a positive response to this, I'll upload more of the film. (this is from the Kino release)

One of the supreme vampire films, VAMPYR is eerie, original, otherworldly...and startling compared to Dreyer's silent film masterpiece THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC. Horrors are there, prescient, ever-present, yet cryptically elusive. Unforgettable and beautiful...

@pumutok Maybe you're too stupid to understand and feel? Sometimes things doesn't need to be explained and you just have to feel. For exemple, the white sand in the end, it's about erasing a dark figure in white. It's all very symbolic.
Just stick to Hollywood and you'll be alright pumutok.

@PinkPudding1 Oh who does the commentary on the DVD release?

This movie is ridiculous. Why can't we understand what's going on here? Why is the dialogue so terrible? Why does the main actor suck? Why isn't it ever explained why they randomly find out where the vampire is, kill her, and then sand randomly falls on the doctor after he locks himself inside a cage that we've never seen before? And why do they leave in a random boat that they found lying in the river, and the lady never sits down?
Oh, right, he paid to be in the movie. WHAT A GREAT GUY.

"Vampyr" is/was one of those movies that was more about style and imagery than anything else. Dreyer was going for a 'dream sequence' feel, in the sense that dreams (and nightmares) often don't make any sense, are surrealistic, and thus aren't meant to be interpreted literally. A movie like "Vampyr" isn't trying for realism, or narrative cohesion; it's first and foremost about the images on the screen. Of course other films like "Nosferatu" do both; just not this particular film.
