RE: Classic Film Review — Nosferatu (1922)

in #film8 years ago

NP... I've done studies about how the liberal social policies of Weimar led to cultural decay... Hitler was the backlash. Also how the early cinematographers such as Murnau, Lang, et.al. influenced the later propaganda filmmakers like Riefenstahl. Murnau's use of light and shadow, particularly in Nosferatu was masterful. the technique was used brilliantly later to paint Jews and other "undesirables" in a negative light.
