Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht, 1979
Werner Hertzog creates a feeling of isolation, mystery, mystical trepidation, silence, Gothic romance, a broken heart, loneliness, death, sadness, impending trouble and void in every frame of the film. Externally impressive visual architecture and indescribable atmosphere arise from mechanical actions: long frames, manual chambers, complex compositions of natural natures, documentary style, slowed down and fascinating acting ... But the internal reason why all this works is the hypnotic mixing of natural and artificial; in the painful hobby of Herzog madness, death, nature and beauty; In the intuitive feeling of everything that exists in this film, and, of course, in the personal vision of Herzog as a great artist. Thanks to all this, the film comes to life, acquires an immense number of measurements, and does not look like a mannerist empty craft.
