F. W. Murnau

Robert Eggers decided to bring back to the big screen one of the most beloved vampires in cinematic history: Nosferatu. Starring Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, Eggers reintroduces the character, based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, in a gothic atmosphere, just before Christmas.

Friedrich W. Murnau's 1927 melodrama, "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans," follows an unnamed man who falls for a woman who attempts to convince him to drown his wife. While the storyline is relatively simple, the movie garnered critical acclaim over the years, as well as three Oscars at the first-ever Academy Awards in 1929.
