Murnau - Die frühen Jahre und Nosferatu
Content:
A documentary specially made for F.W. Murnau-Stiftung by Luciano Berriattúa, one that gives the impression of being the first of a series on the director – this one focusses on Murnau's youth and early films before concentrating exclusively on "Nosferatu". The childhood information and interviews with relatives of Murnau and his associates initially suggests a standard biographical piece, but this soon gives way to some revealing detail on the director's early "lost" films, which are accompanied by stills and clippings and a rare surviving clip of his second film "Satanas", whose blatant eroticism is, to say the least, intriguing. But the hook really bites once we get onto "Nosferatu", particularly the tour of locations used for the film, many of which have changed surprisingly little in the intervening years. Those who have the 2001 Eureka disc may remember the extra feature there titled "Nosferatu Recaptured", which took us on a similar trip around the locations, but they are covered here in considerably more detail and on video rather than as a series of stills.
