Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

Director - E. Elias Merhige, Cinematography - Lou Bogue

"Our battle, our struggle, is to create art. Our weapon is the moving picture. Because we have the moving picture, our paintings will grow and recede; our poetry will be shadows that lengthen and conceal; our light will play across living faces that laugh and agonize; and our music will linger and finally overwhelm, because it will have a context as certain as the grave. We are scientists engaged in the creation of memory... but our memory will neither blur nor fade. "

"Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace!"

Regardless of its historical inaccuracies; this epic 90s movie is still my favourite movie of all time.

𝓴𝓲𝓼𝓼 𝓶𝒆 𝓹𝓵𝒆𝓪𝓼𝒆 !

In "Dangerous Beauty" Catherine McCormack stars opposite Rufus Sewell "What's it like to kiss Rufus Sewell?"

She laughed (which came as a relief because it was a bit of a stupid question) and said "Oh, they're all fantastic." "I read something Rufus said the other day in a magazine which was very amusing. He said 'I was terrified when it came to kissing Catherine McCormack. Not because I was kissing her, but because she had kissed Mel Gibson!'"

He had nothing to worry about. "He's a grand kisser," McCormack said coyly. "And he's dead sexy."

QU: I can't figure out what it is about that guy that is appealing. Why is he sexy? Because, you know, he's almost a little cross-eyed, and his eyes are a little buggy and strange -- yet there is something about him. CM: Definitely. He's a huge sex symbol in England. In America I've been reading all these things about Rufus, I mean like "Sex symbol Rufus Sewell" And he is! He's got something. He's interesting looking. splicedwire com 1998 (!)

Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

With Shadow of the Vampire, writer Steven Katz and director E. Elias Merhige have caught lightning in a bottle. It isn’t that the film couldn’t have been made at any other point - though a different decade and country probably wouldn’t have given them access to Willem Dafoe, so good here. It’s that a fictional account of the making of any other film besides F. W. Murnau’s classic Nosferatu just wouldn't work. The way "Shadow of the Vampire" manages to be both funny and frightening and then do it in ways you don’t expect is kind of brilliant.

In 1921, German director F. W. Murnau (John Malkovich) announces that an obscure German theater performer will play the vampire in “Nosferatu”, his unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. To fully immerse himself in the role, Max Schreck (Dafoe) will only appear in makeup, at nighttime and will never break character. Strange incidents on the set lead the crew to suspect that Murnau has employed a real vampire to make the most authentic film possible.

If you’ve seen Nosferatu, you know how appropriate this fictional scenario is. Murnau’s vampire is a monster like no other. The film has dream-like atmosphere. It isn’t influenced by the much better known 1931 adaptation of Dracula featuring Bela Lugosi, so it interprets the idea of an immortal bloodsucker in a unique way. Murnau didn’t obtain filming rights from Stoker’s widow before production began and all prints were nearly destroyed once she found out. Why didn’t he wait until he had the rights, or just make a different story? Then there’s the picture’s age. Made in 1921, it comes from that bridge between the old world and the new. Movies were being made, but everyone was making it up as they went along, which led to strange choices from everyone involved. Nosferatu is an oddity that’s hypnotic and I can think of no better film whose origin could be shrouded in a sinister mystery.

We’ve got a dynamite premise and the perfect film to apply it to. The final, critical piece comes in the form of the actors. Dafoe is so good here. He’s weird enough that you and the film crew believe he might be an actual vampire. He seems filled with perpetual sadness: a monster, but a pathetic monster, a creature who’s lived on for so long it no longer has a place in a world where you can not only capture an image of the sun and look at it anytime, but film an entire sunrise and project it on a screen to tell a fictional story.

Of course Schreck isn’t actually a vampire because vampires aren’t real, right? And even if vampires were real, what kind of insane film director would hire one? How would you pay them? In blood? How would you coach a vampire to pretend to drink from your female lead (Catherine McCormack as Greta Schroeder)? Unless you shot the film in a way that meant the scene where she is attacked is the last one before production wraps…

There are movies who get better the longer you sit with them. Nosferatu and Shadow of the Vampire are two examples. The more I talk about Shadow of the Vampire, the more I like it. There are so many details here to be considered, though “details” feel like the wrong word. It implies little hidden things when, in fact, they are not hidden, they’re right there, but invisible at a first glance. This is a film I’m going to return to, both mentally, and physically. Shadow of the Vampire is a motion picture like none other and a perfect companion to a horror classic. (On DVD, April 13, 2018)

Dangerous Beauty: Veronica Franco [ENFP 2w3]

Function Order: Ne-Fi-Te-Si ENFPs care more about ideas than experiences, and that’s how Veronica lives her life. She starts out stealing books and reading them rather than doing her needlework, dreaming of what it must be like to be a beautiful courtesan, and writing poems. She resists the idea of being a courtesan until her mother reminds her that being one, would get her access to politics,…
