Nosferatu

Klaus Kinski, Bruno Ganz   w/d Werner Herzog

Perhaps the most interesting adaptation of Bram Stoker's crypto-sexual novel. Easily KK's most weird performance...he plays Drac beyond creepy...closer to an alien being than anything remotely human.

Film is too long. It would have had more punch at an hour or so. Still, there were many striking scenes...who could ever forget the horde of rats emerging from the transport ship?

Thankless supporting role by Isabel Adjani as the loyal, supportive wife. Nice locations and mise-en-scene.

Not suitable for children.
