When Sell He arrived at theaters last year, meant that all farmers with little original content and without origin began to dig up anything possible to try to capture those sweet Objectives of SEO. During this time, I hoped to see a maelstrom of dragated articles Shadow of the vampireThe 2000 film that raises the realization of the original Nosferatu: A sinphony of horror He involved a true vampire like his star.

Although I saw one or two pieces of bait exhausted, I was surprised not to have seen a greater rest of reassessment for Shadow of the vampire Reach the web following Robert Eggers movie.

And that is a real pity because Shadow of the vampire It is the type of film that asks to be rediscovered.

Shadow of the vampire Prepare a moody riff on the realization of Nosfeartu: A sinfonia of horror When trying to echo the atmospheric fear of the classic mute film. But, it is also a comedy that explores the ridicule of the artistic process, namely, the strangers that make up a group of artists. Directed by driving director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (John Malkovich), this rare collection is challenged by the current Weirdo actor: Max Schreck method (Willem Dafoe) as Count Orlok. The real trick is that Schreck is a vampire that Murnau is negotiating to make the most true horror movie.

The premise alone is an endless source of fascinating and humorous ideas, and Shadow of the vampire They are constantly shooting to the same extent. For each Schreck scene acting as a fool for the movie, there is an equally strange scene in which the character’s melancholy stands out. Dafoe is wonderful on paper and the fact that Eggers also starred in Sell It led me to think that many more people would find their Nosferatu in Shadow of the vampire.

This does not seem to be the case, so I hope this little article can help on that front.

But I also recognize that Shadow of the vampire It will never be the type of film that resonates with everyone. It is one more film for artists than an audience, more for those who understand the obsessive nature of creation than only being a consumer of the final product. Add to that the Dormer movie of all the effort and it is not difficult to see why it is not a movie for not winners.

But for those who love stories about the addictive quality of pursuing artistic truth, Shadow of the vampire It is a kind of sleeping knockout. The final moments of the film are something that anyone who has dedicated too much to a project can understand.
