My heart simply wasn't into Herzog's particular kind of weirdness when watching this, alas.
Nosferatu the Vampyre [is] a careful reworking of and elaborate homage to F.W. Murnau’s 1922 film, and also a good indication that weirdness in the movies arrives and vanishes as it is needed or not, like the attention of the court in Kafka’s The Trial: ‘it receives you when you come and it dismisses you when you leave.’ But why do we come?
