Film:Nosferatu

Title: Nosferatu
Year: 2000
Director: F.W. Murnau
Plot: F. W. Murnau's landmark vampire film Nosferatu isn't merely a variation on Bram Stoker's Dracula: it's a direct steal, so much so that Stoker's widow went to court, demanding in vain that the Murnau film be suppressed and destroyed. The character names have been changed to protect the guilty (in the original German prints, at least), but devotees of Stoker will have little trouble recognizing their Dracula counterparts. The film begins in the Carpathian mountains, where real estate agent Hutter (Gustav von Wagenheim) has arrived to close a sale with the reclusive Herr Orlok (Max Schreck). Despite the feverish warnings of the local peasants, Hutter insists upon completing his journey to Orlok's sinister castle. While enjoying his host's hospitality, Hutter accidently cuts his finger-whereupon Orlok tips his hand by staring intently at the bloody digit, licking his lips. Hutter catches on that Orlok is no ordinary mortal when he witnesses the vampiric nobleman loading himself into a coffin in preparation for his journey to Bremen. By the time the ship bearing Orlok arrives at its destination, the captain and crew have all been killed-and partially devoured. There follows a wave of mysterious deaths in Bremen, which the local authorities attribute to a plague of some sort. But Ellen, Hutter's wife, knows better. Armed with the knowledge that a vampire will perish upon exposure to the rays of the sun, Ellen offers herself to Orlok, deliberately keeping him "entertained" until sunrise. At the cost of her own life, Ellen ends Orlok's reign of terror once and for all. Rumors still persist that Max Schreck, the actor playing Nosferatu, was actually another, better-known performer in disguise. Whatever the case, Schreck's natural countenance was buried under one of the most repulsive facial makeups in cinema history-one that was copied to even greater effect by Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog's 1979 remake - Nosferatu the Vampyre. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: M is probably the film that stands out as one of the great Expressionist films made. It's such a creative, thrilling film; something which surprised me when I first saw it years ago as I hadn't seen too many films pre-1950 and those that I had I couldn't really get a feeling for. Some of the noir films that I have loved and which embrace a certain amount of Expressionistic ideas are The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, Gilda and Sunset Boulevard. Hitchcock utilized Expressionist techniques in pretty much all of his films: Psycho and Vertigo being my favorite. Aside from Batman and Batman Returns, which I LOVE, Dark City is another recent film that tried to recapture the overall feeling of an authentic German Expressionist film. Saving the best for last: Nosferatu. I just can't get enough of this movie and it gives me the willies every time I watch it. As I'm sure everyone who watches it describes it, it is hauntingly beautiful. Like M, the filmmaker combined such startling techniques with an interesting story and their power has not diminished in the decades since their initial release.

Body: [quote user="pippin06"] This is out of my league too. I consider myself an average to above average filmgoer/viewer but am not sure if I've seen anything in any category (maybe I have and I didn't know it...but maybe not). Like I said, I saw a lot of French films in college, but who knows if they fall under New Wave or something like that... ...but maybe we could somehow start a discussion somewhere where people schooled in these film schools could make recommendations for beginners. That would be cool, right? Or, maybe it's already somewhere...anyone know? [/quote] Ok, well I'll try to give some insight on what I know about them and any recommendations I may have. Czechoslovakian New Wave may be one of the lesser movements listed here. It kind of started in the 60s. A discription from wikipedia says "Trademarks of the movement contain long unscripted dialogues, dark and absurd humour, and the casting of nonactors." I don't know if I've actually seen any, but some of the more popular ones are available from the Criterion Collection like The Shop on Main Street (which people have mentioned on Spout before), Closely Watched Trains, and lots of Milos Forman's (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Man on the Moon, Amadeus) early work like Loves of a Blonde and The Fireman's Ball. Dogme 95 was an official movement started by Lars Von Trier and a few other Danish filmmakers that had specific rules about it. You could actually submit your film to them to be labeled as an official Dogma 95 film. You can probably find the rules online somewhere, but it involved using only digital film and found locations, props, and costumes. You aren't supposed to add any special effects. The full rules are of course available at good old wikipedia. The most famous of the films would probably The Celebration, The Idiots, and my favorite, Julien Donkey-Boy. The French New Wave is a pretty broad movement usually referring to the iconoclastic filmmakers from France. I think the tail end of the 50s is really when this started to get into full swing. Like Tennenbaums mentioned earlier, Jean Luc-Godard and François Truffaut are often the most identifiable filmmakers with the movement, although there are probably dozens if not more who have been lumped into this movement. SkyPilot mentioned Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob le Flambeur. I have seen that one and was disappointed. I've also seen Godard's Breathless and Truffaut's Jules and Jim both of which I did not enjoy. Truffaut's The 400 Blows I appreciated a bit more, but still not a favorite. Some people throw Éric Rohmer into this category as well, although some argue his style is considerably different and stems from somewhere other than many other of the French New Wave filmmakers. I have enjoyed what little I've seen of his work. Expressionism was a movement in Europe in the early 20th century. It stressed intense emotion conveyed through exaggerated and distorted style and forms. The Germans took this movement and put it in film. I'm sure you recognize famous directors like F. W. Murnau and Fritz Lang. Some of these films had extremely expressionistic and highly unrealistic visuals like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Some like The Last Laugh were just more more distorted versions of reality. With all the Dracula talk that has happend on Spout at times I'm guessing you've also heard of Nosferatu. Some of Lang's works that came a bit later that are well known might also count like M and Metropolis. When I looked into it, I can't really define Iranian New Wave any better than just saying it's basically films that were made in Iran. I guess the most popular filmmaker is Abbas Kiarostami. Look him up and you may recognize a lot of his films. Maybe not. I have seen two films from Majid Majidi and would recommend The Color of Paradise. It's kind of recent though so I don't really know if it's a good representation of the first wave of the Iranian New Wave. Italian neorealism is what it probably sounds like. Italian films that stressed trying to give a realistic depiction of every day working class people. They did this by shootings things on location and often with non-actors. And a lot of the the "boring" action of normal life that might not find it's way into other films is here. Although I sure don't find it boring. The time frame we are looking at is the later forties. The most famous example is Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief which I would highly recommend, although De Sica's Shoeshine and Umberto D are also amazing. Other big name directors are Luchino Visconti and Roberto Rossellini. The Japanese New Wave like the French New Wave were a bunch of iconoclastic filmmakers that started with works being released around the end of the 50s through the 70s. You could put Seijun Suzuki in this category who is one of my favorite directors. Tokyo Drifter, Fighting Elegy, Branded to Kill, and Youth of the Beast are all fims of his that I love and are available on the Criterion Collection. Hiroshi Teshigahara also has some of his movies released through Criterion, one of which, Woman in the Dunes, I just saw recently and is amazing. Shohei Imamura also has some of his movies available through Criterion (this is basically just a big Criterion ad). Nagisa Oshima is probably the biggest name from this moment in my mind and I'm rather embarassed to say I still haven't seen any of his films. Mumblecore core is the newest term on this list and has gotten a lot of press on Spout, so maybe you've heard of it. I don't know if I've really seen any movies that would fit this category hardcore, but you probably recognize the trend in independent cinema. I think it has a lot to do with young adults living in big cities. Very low budget. Lots of slang and hip music and culture references with a realistic style. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Joe Swanberg had a short film series on Spout for a while I think. New French Extremity is the other really new term here. I just came across the name recently to refer to a recent wave of confrontational French films ove the past decade or so. You know how we had a group here on spout called "extreme films"? Well a lot of these would probably fit in nice there. They show you the extreme fifth, cruelty, and violence of humanity often in graphic detail. You may recognize a lot of these names. Gaspar Noé's Irreversible is one of the most well known state side I think. It's the one that runs backwards. I've seen his I Stand Alone and let me say it's pretty striking and depression, very confrontational to the dark and depressing side of the human condition. Other examples are some of Claire Denis' and Leos Carax's recent work, Bruno Dumont (The Life of Jesus, Humanité), Catherine Breillat (Fat Girl). Maybe you have also heard of the infamous Baise-moi (Fuck Me). If you listen to a lot of the horror fans we have on the site too you may hear them rave about many of the violent horror films comming out of France recently. These could probably fit in well too. The most well known now being High Tension. As for New German Cinema, you've heard of Werner Herzog right?? He's one of my favorites (check out The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Stroszek, Fitzcarraldo). Well he and some other German folks such as R. W. Fassbinder (Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, The Marriage of Maria Braun, The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (the guy made well over fourty films in a span of sixteen years including the fifteen hour long Berlin Alexanderplatz)), Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, Paris, Texas), Volker Schlöndorff (The Tin Drum) and several others started making the first original movies starting in the late 60s since before the rise of the Nazis (Werner Herzog even made a remake of the classic German film Nosferatu). Finally Germany was a force in the world of Cinema making original and revolutionary films again. Anyone have anything to add?

Body: Wow, those are going back a bit! I've always found the oldest horror films to be the creepiest. Nosferatu and The Cabinent of Dr. Caligari are two of my favorites, particularly the latter for its creepy surrealism. Be sure to let us know how you like Der Golem! [quote user="Risselada"] I just received The Golem from Netflix (although the DVD was cracked so I'm still waiting for a replacement). One of the phrases on the sleeve says this: The three films make up what is widely credited as the first horror series ever created, with Wegener's original film, The Golem, premiering in 1914 and its sequel, The Golem and the Dancing Girl, released in 1917. Anyone seen any of these? [/quote]

Body: [quote user="Dr_Gor"] [quote user="Risselada"] So far Gary Oldman has taken the lead with 6 votes. The Nosferatus Max Schreck and Klaus Kinski come in next with 4 and 3 votes respectively. Everyone else has 1 or zero votes. Please feel free to keep voting if you haven't yet and keep the discussion going if you feel so inclined. [/quote] I think the results of this poll speaks volumes about the age group of the participants. It would seem that most of the respondents have ONLY seen the Coppola/Gary Oldman Dracula (a FINE movie!) except for those who also saw Nosferatu and/or the Kinski remake in film school or something. Nothing wrong with that! Those are FINE movies all! I just feel that if more of the respondents had actually seen all of the movies listed Lugosi and Lee would have gotten more than a couple votes each. I ALMOST voted for Lugosi for sentimental reasons but I felt it was more important to be honest with you people (and myself) so I voted for my true favorite, Christopher Lee. < GOR > [/quote] Lee definitely would have been my second pick. In fact, I've been thinking about it and I almost regret not making him my vote now. You are right. The original Hammer Studios Dracula with him is probably my favorite version of the story.

Body: Definitely going with Max Schreck. Nosferatu, the Symphony of Horrors is just too darn good, especially since it was first. The first time I saw the film it was actually a version of the film in which some company had scored the film with a remixed techno-goth-heavy metal orchestrated soundtrack that was a little off-putting, but gave it a modern twist that was actually pretty interesting and made it all that more chilling. However, seeing the film as it was intended did the exact same thing which I felt was incredible.

Body: I would have to go with the original Nosferatu. Max Schreck was incredibly creepy and twisted, and had none of the sex appeal bestowed on later vampires. He was truly a 'creature of the night', and not the suave over sexed vampire we see emerge after Bela Lugiosi's excellent performance. I think the silence of the film, puncuated only by the bleating, frenzied organ music really adds an element of creepy. Schreck was forced to rely on visuals to convey the derranged nature of his Dracula. For those interested, the entire film is available here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6185283610506001721 [quote user="Risselada"] Nosferatu the Vampire (1922) [/quote]

Body: Although I picked Kinski, I also wanted to give credit where credit is due to Gary Oldman. What a transformation! But Kinski's vampire was really 3 dimensional, especially since most of the other characters in that film were so flat. my favorite scenes are 1) when he is moving the coffins off of the ship with this funny little walk to the church and 2) when he is running through the deserted streets of the town, bounding and leaping with such exaggeration. Too funny! [quote user="Risselada"] I picked this poll for a couple reasons. 1. This conversation in the Horror Movies 101 group turned towards discussing the greatest Draculas. 2. There was recently a vampire poll/tournament put on by Spout in which I think many people were a little disappointed that Twilight fans overwhelmed it. In this poll it won't be the tournament format and since it's just Dracula, the Twilight guy won't be included. Please vote only once in each poll.

Body: The vampires of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels are described as impossibly beautiful. But it’s one vampire, “Edward Cullen,” who is written as having such appealing details that it would seem impossible for a girl not to fall in love with him. In actuality, that’s what has happened to most females, young and old, who have read the books. And while his cinematic portrayer, Robert Pattinson, doesn’t quite resemble a marble statue of Adonis, the actor is still getting his fair share of seven-year-old suitors asking to be bitten. Cullen is hardly the first vampire to so strongly attract the hearts (and necks) of mortals. But what is it about the bloodsucking undead that turns us on so much? Is it truly their stone-white skin and chiseled features? Or perhaps it’s their ability to go all night long? Let us take a look at the many vampire love interests that literature and cinema have given us over the years in an attempt to find out their sexy secret. 1819: Lord Ruthven from The Vampyre by John Polidori One of the granddaddies of modern English vampire literature, Polidori’s short story features a character not unlike Twilight’s Cullen in terms of suave, seductive sex appeal. Yet this alluring vampire is as deadly as he is desirable, and while he might honor a lady with his hand in marriage, he’s still liable to kill his new bride and then go into hiding. 1828: Lord Ruthven from Der Vampyr by Heinrich Marschner and Wilhelm August Wohlbruck This is basically the same guy from Polidori’s story, but in Marschner and Wohlbruck’s opera he has to disguise himself in order to be granted the young Malwina’s hand. And when he’s exposed, he’s struck by lightning and sent to hell, very much lowering his availability. 1872: Carmilla from Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Young Laura is just happy to have a new best friend, but lesbian vampire Carmilla is interested in more and keeps lunging at Laura’s chest. Unfortunately, it would take another 100-plus years before heterosexual girls found it both acceptable and trendy to “dyke out” with their gal pals. Also see versions of the story in Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr and Roger Vadim’s Blood and Roses. 1897: Count Dracula from Dracula by Bram Stoker He’s not quite Lucy Westenra’s love-interest, more like a meaningless fling for the newly engaged girl. But after a nightly affair with the Count, Lucy seems to have acquired a mysterious, deadly STD, which is later discovered to be vampirism. Fortunately for Mina Harker, his next “partner,” the disease is curable by way of killing the person you contracted it from. Also see Tod Browning’s 1931 adaptation and Terence Fisher’s 1958 version. 1922: Count Orlok from Nosferatu, directed by F.W. Murnau Based on Dracula, Orlok (Max Schreck) is also not much of a love-interest, probably because he’s so damn ugly. But he is tricked into thinking he’s desired at the end, as Ellen (Greta Schroder) gives up her body as a self-sacrificial attempt to stop the spread of vampirism to others. Or because she’s like those cruel popular girls at school who’d tease the nerds for their own narcissistic pleasure. 1966-1971: Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows, created by Dan Curtis He should have never cheated on his true love, Josette, or he might never have been turned into a vampire by his jilted, supernatural mistress, Angelique (Lara Parker). And Josette might never have killed herself. Ever since, Barnabus (Jonathan Frid) has just been looking to replace her, whether with look-a-likes or her actual reincarnated spirit. And no girl wants to feel like she’s a substitute for another woman, even if she’s supposedly that woman reborn. 1969-present: Vampirella from miscellaneous Vampirella comics, created by Forrest J. Ackerman Though a vampire hunter by trade, Adam Van Helsing couldn’t help falling for Vampirella the moment he first laid eyes on her. He would say that it’s because she’s not like other vampires, that she’s not evil. But he’s a guy, and really the immediate attraction was that body and its near lack of clothing. 1970: Carmilla from The Vampire Lovers, directed by Roy Ward Baker Ingrid Pitt is hot and all, and those longing stares of hers are enchanting, but the only reason she has more luck seducing friends like Emma (Madeline Smith) than did her 19th century literary counterpart is because this film was made at a time when experimentation with lesbianism was becoming more acceptable, especially to the guys who went to these kinds of movies. Not surprisingly, there would be plenty more soft-core lesbian vampire movies to come. 1972: Prince Mamuwalde from Blacula, directed by William Crain Blacula (William Marshall) may be one smooth vampire, but he’s not so good at keeping his ladylove from being killed…twice! At least he comes to the understanding that he’s as dangerous as he is attractive and so doesn’t allow any more women to succumb to his seductions. 1979: Count Dracula from Love at First Bite, directed by Stan Dragoti Thanks to blood banks, Dracula (George Hamilton) no longer needs to be such a villain, and he can devote himself more fully to romantic pursuits. Unfortunately, he’s got issues similar to those of Barnabus Collins and is only after a girl (Susan Saint James) who reminds him of his true love, Mina Harker. Fortunately, she’s kind of flaky and she doesn’t mind being a substitute. 1983: Miriam Blaylock from The Hunger, directed by Tony Scott No man or woman can resist the beauty of this vampire played by Catherine Deneuve, but her lovers pay a terrible price. They become immortal yet they still age, so they end up looking like the walking dead rather than the undead. Still, Miriam has amazing seductive powers, and even after seeing what has happened to one companion/victim, and even though she’s married and not a lesbian, Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon) can’t help climbing into bed with the gorgeous creature. 1985: Countess from Once Bitten, directed by Howard Storm With a girlfriend as hot as his, Mark (Jim Carrey) should just wait for her. But as a teenage male, he’s got to have sex, and like many young dudes, a sexy older woman is the answer. But not only does she not take his virginity, she begins turning him into a vampire and, worse, won’t allow his attempt at a one-night stand be simply that. 1987: Star from The Lost Boys, directed by Joel Schumacher She’s only a half-vampire, but that makes Star (Jami Gertz) all the more appealing to the new guy in town, Michael (Jason Patric). Especially when it turns out she’s not a full-blown vampire because she didn’t kill him as instructed. 1989: Rachel from Vampire’s Kiss, directed by Robert Bierman Like Countess from Once Bitten, this beautiful vampire (played by Jennifer Beals) similarly serves as a caution against one-night stands. But she could also just be a figment of Nicolas Cage’s character’s imagination. 1992: Count Dracula from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola Those sunglasses are downright sexy, but thanks to a prologue connecting Dracula to Vlad the Impaler, the titular vampire (played by Gary Oldman) has pretty much the same obsession issues he exhibits in Love at First Bite. He’s just after Mina (Winona Ryder) because she resembles his love from centuries earlier. Which means that girl in 1979 actually reminds him of Elisabeta. 1994: Lestat and Louis from Interview with the Vampire, directed by Neil Jordan It’s kind of like My Two Dads, only one of the guys is actually into the other guy and the non-bisexual one acquired their “daughter” (Kirsten Dunst) by metaphorically pedophilic means. And 30 years later she can’t forgive him for having his way with her, forever stunting her growth as a woman. Dysfunctional family or strange vampiric romance? When you’re as good looking as Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, it’s hard not to attract all sorts of admirers and possibly complicated relationships. 1995: Maximillian from Vampire in Brooklyn, directed by Wes Craven Even for the ‘90s, that mullet was not attractive, yet it somehow didn’t deter Angela Bassett’s character from falling victim to Eddie Murphy’s advances, as well as his fangs. 1997-2003: Angel and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is apparently similar to Adam in the Vampirella comics, because even though it’s her job to slay vampires, sometimes she can’t help but have sex with them. It’s not her fault though, especially if they have a soul and look like hunky actor David Boreanaz, or if they’re just Billy Idol-sexy like actor James Marsters. 2003: Selena from Underworld, directed by Len Wiseman It’s hard enough making a relationship work between a vampire and a human, but vampire on werewolf love is totally out of the question. Or is it vampire on vampire/werewolf hybrid love? Who cares, Kate Beckinsale is hot in that leather outfit! Whatever he is, Michael (Scott Speedman) is a lucky man, or something. 2008: Bill Compton from True Blood, created by Alan Ball At last, vampires have gained civil rights, yet interspecies love is still not completely acceptable. This of course makes them even more appealing to open-minded and sexually curious individuals like Sookie (Anna Paquin), who is immediately smitten with Bill the vampire (Stephen Moyer) when he walks into her bar/life. 2008: Eli from Let the Right One In, directed by Thomas Alfredson Many young boys tormented by bullies eventually turn to the goth subculture for acceptance. And typically the initial attraction is by way of a cute goth chick, similar to the crush Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) has on his new neighbor, Eli (Lina Leandersson). But if that chick turns out to actually be a vampire and is able to fight her boyfriend’s battles for him, it might be time for that guy to find a new crush and subculture. Hint: ska girls are cute, too, if there’s any still out there. 2008: Edward Cullen from Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke He may be the hottest thing to happen to young girls since The Beatles, but he’s obviously more of a fantasy, not being real and all. Still, to fellow character Bella (Kristen Stewart), he’s absolutely perfect, and perfectly incarnate. It’s a little strange that he’s 108-years-old and still attending high school — or maybe that’s just his way of finding statutory rape victims — but otherwise he’s attractive in every single way. Except that he’s not human, and he puts her life in danger. But apparently those things are part of the allure of vampires. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog
