    Nosferatu the Vampyre

    ★★★½

    Given that this is at least the fifth Dracula adaptation I’ve seen, I’m starting to realize I just don’t go crazy for this story or character. Both are iconic, sure, but I often find my interest dipping. If there’s anything holding this back, it’s that. 

    Meanwhile, there’s a lot to love. The sprawling vistas and impressive locations (Herzog sure has a knack for this). Kinski’s unsettling yet often pitiful portrayal of the Count. Lucy’s newfound agency. The mystifying mood with surrealist touches. Herzog paints a portrait of obsession and desire leading to ruin. Sound familiar? I liked it!

    Minnie opening a box of chocolates and finding a dog bone and then just losing it and saying she hates all men is why I continue to watch these.

    Sometimes they’re just nuts.

    I would drop my favorite quote here but Letterboxd won’t let me post the full screenplay. Extended analysis coming soon. This movie is perfect.
