L'OMBRE DU VAMPIRE
Shadow of the Vampire
1921, quelque part en Europe de l'Est, le realisateur allemand Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau tourne "Nosferatu", un film de vampires inspire du "Dracula" de Bram Stoker. Il fait appel a Max Schreck pour tenir le role principal, celui du terrifiant comte Orlock. Les membres de l'equipe du film, menes par le genial demiurge, se pretent de plus ou moins bonne grace aux etranges faceties de Schreck.

Did I kill one of your people, Murnau? I can't remember.
F.W. Murnau (John Malkovich) is filming Nosferatu (1922), but isn't reclusive star Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) taking his role of the vampire way too seriously?
In some ways it's a curate's egg of a film. It certainly helps if you are a lover of old classic film and have some knowledge of the source material at the film's core. It's a fabulous concept that the screenplay is based around, that the star of the film may actually be a real vampire, and the whole production is executed with consummate skill (Dafoe was deservedly Oscar nominated as were make-up artists Ann Buchanan & Amber Sibley). But come the end it fizzles out and proves to not have delivered on its devilishly intriguing premise. Fun, though, and tech credits all round keep one well involved. 6/10
