[LEN-E] Nosferatu (The Ultimate Two-Disc Edition)

[Luc Deneulin]

Nanook of the North is a great film, Moanna by Flaherty is as big! It  
was considered the first "documentary, well it was the first time, in  
the late twenties that the word was used (in an English newspaper). At  
that time a documentaruy meant that scenes could be played or directed  
as long as the spirit was preserved. Man of Aran was one of  
Riefenstahl's favorite films.
When Murnau and Flaherty worked together, you get the combination of a  
genious of fiction and one of documentary, in this great film Tabu.
I think the German film from 1910-1928 is full of masterpieces, also  
the so-called street films (Asphalt, Die freudlose Gasse etc) and to  
know that so many films are also lost!!!
