Nosferatu Chronicler

#Nosferatu Minute 53 First called 'Demeter', finally named 'Empusa', actually, 'Jürgen'. #haiku #silentfilm #horror #minutebyminute

#Nosferatu Minute 52 An AMAZING shot! To capture a moving ship from a second ship! - Shot is in focus Ship stays perfectly in frame... 1921! - Quite an achievement. Watch the steady horizon! What camera mastery. #silentfilm #haiku #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 52 Leaving hospital, Hutter worries for Ellen. The race home begins. #haiku #horror #silentfilm #minutebyminute

#Nosferatu Minute 51 Text, text everywhere. Too much for Murnau AND Grau? So show later films. - Grau's Warning Shadows: borrows shadows and actors but none of the text. - Murnau's The Last Laugh: has no written dialogue. Much show; little tell. #haiku #silentfilm #cinema

#Nosferatu Minute 51 The Rule: Show, don't tell. So don't tell and tell again! Poor #storytelling. :-( #haiku #horror #silentfilm

#Nosferatu Minute 51 "My darling! Dearest! Weird dreams, empty castle but... don't worry, I'm fine!" #haiku #horror #silentfilm

#Nosferatu Minute 50 Landshoff, chosen for her likeness to a painting by Friedrich Kaulbach - Difficult to say which painting Ruth resembled... Kaulbach liked brunettes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Land… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich… #arthistory #art #haiku #silentfilm #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 49 Friedrich strikes again! Murnau was inspired by 'The Monk by the Sea' #arthistory #haiku #silentfilm #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 47 This film's hidden gem is Alexander Granach. Now there went a mensch! goodreads.com/book/show/5034… #haiku #silentfilm #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 46 "The patient who was admitted yesterday has gone stark raving mad..." - Hey! It's a gift horse. Sometimes they write themselves! How can I refuse? 😉 #haiku #silentfilm #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 45 More nods to paintings: Carl Spitzweg's 'In the Attic' gave Bulwer his look. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Spit… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Spit… #arthistory #art #silentfilm #haiku #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 45 Professor Bulwer ineffective and sadly utterly pointless. #haiku #silentfilm #horror

#Nosferatu Minute 44 Alas, far less got, Murnau settled for fewer... Herzog got plenty! #haiku #horror #silentfilm #dracula
