Nosferatu with Radiohead: A Silents Synced Film
Part of Shadowbox’s Art House Cinema Pop-Up Oct 29 – Nov 4!
Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music. Just in time for Halloween, F.W. Murnau’s silent expressionistic vampire masterpiece Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) gets a new soundtrack in Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001).
Murnau’s film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which Stoker’s heirs attempted to have destroyed! Luckily, it survives to this day, and has been remade a couple of times, first in 1979 by Werner Herzog, and later this year by Robert Eggers. It tells the story of a real estate agent sent to Transylvania to meet a new client of his firm, the creepy Count Orlok. With his iconic bald head and pointy ears, there may be something more to the good Count than meets the eye…
Two showings, at 7 pm and 9:30 pm. Tickets $10
