Herzog’s lyrical, captivating and sometimes humorous homage to Murnau’s pioneering version of the Dracula story is unique to vampire cinema. Shot on location in Holland and eastern Slovakia, the menacing landscapes evoke childhood nightmares while Kinski gives one of his finest performances as Count Dracula, a creature of longing, passion and sorrow who broods on the torture and loneliness of living forever.

In a bid for ratings, a television network cynically exploits the ravings and revelations of a deranged ex-news anchor by giving him his own show as “the mad prophet of the air-waves”. A black, biting satire on the inner workings of the 20th century's most powerful medium.
