Today's episode is a special between Oscars conversation about the 1922 film Nosferatu. This was another suggestion from my son Joshua who came on last year between seasons to talk about The General with me and is another classic film that came along too early to be recognized by The Academy.
Listen to hear about some of the early the visual effects the film used quite effectively, the stark reality of certain German actors in the 1930s, and how this film has served as the basis for vampire films for over a century. Don't forget to check out the film for yourself on YouTube, Amazon Prime, or buy a copy of the remastered Kino Lorber disc for your collection.
