Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, directed by German director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922, is not only regarded as one of the most intriguing and disquieting films to have been produced during the years of Weimar cinema but is also a key step in establishing the vampire as a cinematic figure and in shaping its connection with our subconscious fears and desires. 

In her analysis of this hugely influential film, Cristina Massaccesi unravels the never-ending fascination exercised by the film over generations of viewers and filmmakers whilst at the same time providing the reader with a clear guide about the film's contexts, cinematography, and possible interpretations, covering the political and social context of the Weimar Republic and its film industry, the German Expressionist movement, the film's production, reception and difficult initial release. 

The book also includes the results of a lengthy interview between the author and E. Elias Merhige, director of the Nosferatu homage, Shadow of the Vampire (2000).

Celebrated director David Lynch has died

Celebrated director David Lynch has died. He was 78. David's family announced his death in a tribute on Facebook. His loved ones write, 'There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, 'Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.''

 

No cause of death details were shared, but David revealed his emphysema diagnosis last year. The co-creator of TV's 'Twin Peaks' and the filmmaker behind 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive' and many others, David was best-known for his uncompromising vision on the big and small screen.
