Special Presentation

 

 

Nosferatu (1922)

 

Here's a German Expressionist film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. Starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok (Count Dracula)


 

Its original German title is Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens ("Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror"). Shot in 1921 and released in 1922, the film is in essence an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, but with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (eg, "vampire" became "Nosferatu", and Count Dracula became Count Orlok).

Writing the Novel vs. the Screenplay

A screenplay unfolds visually – you have to find visual depictions of plot, relationships, emotions, and themes. You have to do that in a novel as well, of course, but a novel gives you some extra dimensions...
