nosferatu is a beautiful movie, amazing choices by everyone involved---except the main actors. they were terrible.
#I know uta hagen won't be around for another thirty years or so but stanislavski was doing good stuff in the early 1900s!
#where was that naturalism!! come on!!!
#instead I believed everybody was exactly who they said they were except hutter ellen and orlok
#(though some of the supporting cast were treading dangerous territory too....)
#apart from that...I cannot stress how unexpectedly beautiful the movie was. really.
#given that it's all in weirdly-colored frames and occasionally more impressionist painting than film-accurate
#it is strangely and devastatingly effective.
#some of its imagery lingers even now. for example:
#there's a whole section where you're flickering between the increasingly-desperate demeter; jonathon riding hell for leather
#trying to beat dracula to england; mina wasting away; and renfield growing increasingly agitated in his cell
#it's important to know: these flickering images are wordless. they are silent.
#they are also incredibly effective and beautiful.
#every shot of the ship at sea was lovely. the crowd scenes were lovely!
#the actors were awful. the end.
#a proscenium for our dreams
