In this blog, we will look at the influence a director of a particular country, in our case Germany, to a director of that country's later generation. In this example, we will look at a film and its remake, and see how they represent the film movements they both were made during. We will look at F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent classic Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens and Werner Herzog's 1979 remake/homage Nosferatu, Phantom der Nacht.
