Review of Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) by Eduardo A — 11 Jun 2016
In 1922, Murnau realized a masterpiece of horror cinema (the first based on Bram Stoker's Dracula) and after 57 years (in 1979) Herzog makes a remake that does not try to imitate the original, but it does something more.
What Herzog has done it is something wonderful, scary, beautiful, terrifying and poetic. A story of love, blood, death and loneliness, with a masterful Klaus Kinski, who plays a penned Dracula in his castle and in its melancholy, a melancholy due to his loneliness.
Isabelle Adjani is a wonderful, beautiful, strong, wise and loving Lucy Harker, who must fight to save his love from the clutches of Dracula. Melancholic and poetic final. One of the few cases in which the remake is wonderful as the original.
