Murnau’s NOSFERATU

  • 7:30 ONLY

Live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner

(1922, F.W. Murnau) Murnau’s legendary plagiarism of Dracula — a lawsuit suppressed its U.S. screenings for decades — carried its own attar of the crypt, with speeded-up film, reverse negative and Max Schreck’s rat-like “Drac” amply serving up the dread. Approx. 81 min. 35mm.

Also screening Herzog's NOSFERATU (1979). Click here for showtimes.

“Derives its horror and sense of mystery from setting its sinister story in familiar surroundings among everyday people and events.”
