От издателя As noted critic Pauline Kael observed, " this first important film of the vampire genre has more spectral atmosphere, more ingenuity, and more imaginative ghoulish ghastliness than any of аузпкits successors" Some really good vampire movies have been made since Kael wrote those words, but German director FW Murnau's 1922 version remains a definitive adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula Created when German silent films were at the forefront of visual бдащвtechnique and experimentation, Murnau's classic is remarkable for its creation of mood and setting, and for the unforgettably creepy performance of Max Schreck as Count Orlok, aka the blood-sucking predator Nosferatu With his rodent-like features and long, bony-fingered hands, Schreck's vampire is an icon of screen horror, bringing pestilence and death to the town of Bremen in 1838 (These changes of story detail were made necessary when Murnau could not secure a copyright agreemeбосмыnt with Stoker's estate) Using negative film, double-exposures, and a variety of other in-camera special effects, Murnau created a vampire classic that still holds a powerful influence on the horror genre (Werner Herzog's 1978 film "Nosferatu the Vampyre" is both a remake and a tribute, and Francis Coppola adopted many of Murnau's visual techniques for "Bram Stoker's Dracula") Seen today, Murnau's film is more of a fascinating curiosity, but its frightening images remain effectively eerie * * * * * Экранизация "Дракулы" Брэма Стокера оказала влияние на развитие мирового кино От других фильмов ужасов немецкого экспрессионизма, созданных под вдохновением Калигари, этот отличался тем, что съемки велись на настоящей натуре, а не в стилизованных студийных декорациях Ужас и чувство таинственности черпались в расположении мрачных историй в знакомой среде и окружении, они происходили с обычными людьми в ходе повседневных событий Дополнительныебсьцл материалы Commentary by German silent film connoisseur Lokke Heiss Dolby Digital 50 score by Silent Orchestra Stereo organ score by Tim Howard Режиссер Фридрих Вильгельм Мурнау FW Murnau Актеры Макс Шрек Max Schreck Макс Немец Max Nemetz Александр Гранач Alexander Granach.
