Synopsis
Shot in the Carpathians and several Baltic cities, "Nosferatu" is in fact the faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel: Dracula. Max Schreck plays the title role. "Nosferatu" is a film that uses light effects to the maximum for its time. Playing on the use of shadows and contrasts in his shots, the director Murnau succeeds in a great classic of horror cinema which remains consistent with the plot of the book.
