Nosferatu the Vampyre

Those who find "Nosferatu" from 1922 quite interesting but can't get into silent films should be happy with the 1979 remake. It is at least as artistically valuable but provides a more traditional viewing experience. Of course, the whole thing is still not mainstream; after all, Werner Herzog is the director of this film. He stages the whole thing at a leisurely pace and with beautiful images. Partly, he takes over entire sequences from the original by F. W. Murnau. All of this worked very well for me. The actors are also great, especially Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula. Kinski was already a creepy guy, but with the Nosferatu makeup, it's even more intense. Also strong is Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker. With her Snow White look, she embodies the "woman of pure heart" who wants to bring Dracula down. Meanwhile, Herzog sticks to the original plot, with the exception of the ending, which he changed. And that's what finally lifts the film to another level for me.
