as we approach halloween I would like to recommend this rendition of nosferatu by werner herzog that always leaves me feeling a little sad. the vampire makeup they give klaus kinski is goofy/cute/narsty but it lends him a pouting bulldog effect that I find emotionally compelling. the 70s practical effects also provide some good laughs. the main draw is the eternal loneliness of nosferatu though… you can see it in his eyes… tragique…

This movie is so incredible, klaus kinski is both horrifying and unintentionally hilarious. His dumb little teeth, the scene where he runs through the town at night in such an insane way and every time he’s in the shadows creeping around. Amazing performance, I don’t know if that kid from skins has what it takes to top kinski but we’ll see. -Rivka

my favorite silent film ever. so visually striking with light and shadow. such an eerie and haunting movie and obviously max schreck ’s performance as count orlok is iconic. very excited for the robert eggers version.

I don’t always want to post them but I find that getting into the habit of taking lots of photos, good and bad, both with people in them and not, makes me want to keep them safer than just on instagram. that’s my emotional support folder… get away from her…

I’ve been very slowly making my way through the satoshi kon filmography (like very slowly,,, I first watched perfect blue three years ago) and honestly this one might be my favorite?? a found family film through and through, which I am a gigantic sucker for. three homeless people find a baby in a dumpster and set out on a quest to find her parents, no matter the result. I think I was more receptive to it because it takes place on christmas eve and I was already feeling fresh nostalgia for a christmas eve that had just happened a few days before… but I loved being in the world this film builds. a gross, hidden tokyo built upon the backs of small kindnesses. will absolutely watch again next year because I haven’t stopped thinking about it, wanting to return to that world for a few minutes.
