Synopsis

A hommage to Murnau's silent classic. This richly drawn version of the Dracula tale is one of Herzog's most beautiful and haunting films. Jonathan Harker is sent away to Count Dracula's castle to sell him a house in Virna, where he lives. But Count Dracula is a vampire living on men's blood. Inspired by a photograph of Lucy, Jonathan's wife, Dracula moves to Virna, bringing with him death and plague.
