Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, directed by German director
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922, is not only regarded as one of
the most intriguing and disquieting films to have been produced
during the years of Weimar cinema but is also a key step in
establishing the vampire as a cinematic figure and in shaping its
connection with our subconscious fears and desires. In her analysis
of this hugely influential film, Cristina Massaccesi unravels the
never-ending fascination exercised by the film over generations of
viewers and filmmakers whilst at the same time providing the reader
with a clear guide about the film's contexts, cinematography, and
possible interpretations, covering the political and social context
of the Weimar Republic and its film industry, the German
Expressionist movement, the film's production, reception and
difficult initial release. The book also includes the results of a
lengthy interview between the author and E. Elias Merhige, director
of the Nosferatu homage, Shadow of the Vampire (2000).
