Nosferatu. Symphony of horror

Year: 1922
Director: Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau
It so happened that the film Studio Prana Film, where he worked Murnau was unable to acquire the rights to the use of the novel "Dracula," and the Director had to change the names of the main characters in your feed and slightly alter the plot. But despite all these changes the pattern can safely be called an adaptation of the book of Stoker.
After the release of the film on the big screen, the writer's widow, Florence Stoker, sued for the destruction of all copies of it. But to burn all of the tapes turned out to be impossible. The picture "live" to our days, it is included in the compulsory program of almost all film schools worldwide

Year: 1992

Director: Francis Ford Coppola
When the film does the Oscar-winning Director Francis Ford Coppola, the result is always impressive. And now, 70 years later after the release of the Murnau masterpiece, a classic of modern American cinema has also launched the film adaptation of "Dracula". To date, Coppola's film is considered a benchmark for the incarnation of Stoker's novel on the big screen. One cast is worth something! Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Tom waits, Monica Bellucci – all star in one picture. Especially played great Oldman (Dracula) and Hopkins (van Helsing).

Shadow of the vampire
Year: 2000
Directed By: Edmund Elias Merig
And the last tape in our short selection – this is a film about the film. Picture of Edmund Elias Meridia tells the story of the ribbon "Nosferatu. Symphony of horror", about which we wrote above. The role of the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau went to John Malkovich. It depicts the genius and his obsession with his plan. To heighten the likelihood Murnau (according to Merida) invited for the role of count Orlok... a real vampire. It was played by the actor Willem Dafoe, but he played so well that it even got nominated for an Oscar.
In the end, the picture of Meridia turned out really terrible. Especially symbolic last shots of the film, when the vampire kills all the people on the set during filming, but Murnau continues to shoot like crazy. To date, the film "Shadow of the vampire" is the best work of Edmund Meridia on the big screen. More nothing outstanding, he was shot.
