German film director of the silent era, noted for Nosferatu (1922) and Sunrise (1927), a key figure in German Expressionist cinema.

Directed Nosferatu (1922); the film prompted a legal case over Bram Stoker's Dracula and was ordered destroyed, but copies survived. Murnau is widely regarded as a major director of the silent era.

A passionate, admiring review of Nosferatu (1922) praising Murnau's mastery, the film's expressionist visuals and the legend of Max Schreck. Discusses the legal battle over Stoker's Dracula and how a copy survived. Strong recommendation to see the film, especially for new viewers.

For:Fans of silent cinema, horror enthusiasts, film students and critics
