Elias Merhige; Notes; Bibliography 330 8 $a'Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror', directed by German director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in 1922, is not only regarded as one of the most intriguing and disquieting films to have been produced during the years of Weimar cinema but is also a key step in establishing the vampire as a cinematic figure and in shaping its connection with our subconscious fears and desires. The book's analysis of this hugely influential film, unravels the never-ending fascination exercised by the film over generations of viewers and filmmakers whilst at the same time providing the reader with a clear guide about the film's contexts, cinematography, and possible interpretations, covering the political and social context of the Weimar Republic and its film industry, the German Expressionist movement, the film's production, reception and difficult initial release. 410 0$aDevil's advocates. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aVampire films 606 $aHorror films$zGermany$xHistory 615 0$aVampire films. 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory. 676 $a791.4372 700 $aMassaccesi$b Cristina$01075299 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520009203321 996 $aNosferatu, a symphony of horror$92584521 997 $aUNINA
