your stars are but dust on my shoes
I was reading a Herzog interview from 79 where he expressed that Nosferatu is ambiguous in that he brings pestilence and eventually redemption to the city. With his appearance, he brings destruction and eventual salvation.

I guess that's what ultimately makes his version of Nosferatu a little bit more interesting to me. That Herzog was interested in taking a hideous monster, and giving him traits that an audience could empathize with. Orlok is so "miserable in his solitude," "incurably sad," that the audience is no longer focused on his "long nails, pointed ears, and snake like teeth."

The ambiguous savior idea kind of needs a lot of twisting around to work, but it's at the heart of what I prefer over this iteration of Orlok.

I'll rewatch this eventually.

Im watching rn(not in cinema). Feels kind of short. His stay at the castle was to breif. The boat part could'ca been longer too.
Two hours and 11 mins? Another half hour and this could have been better.
Still better than Coppola's version.

If the boat part was any longer it'd be "The Last Voyage of The Demeter" which I actually enjoyed more than this tbh

This movie was a masterpiece and speaks on so much about the carnal nature of man and woman.

The orgasm and both being put to sleep...the demonic being that is the masculine libido...the woman yoni satiating the carnal rage....

"I am appetite"......"only you I can be satiated"

The longing for the one you truly want
