Deaf Eyes. (Reply to this comment)

Dear Metalluk: Don't listen to my esteemed colleagues, Stephen Murray and George Chabot, in this particular case.
You did not write that NOSFERATU was the first to use intercutting; you write it is "one of the first."
And George has obviously not seen your 93 minute version of Nosferatu, restored, I believe, by the Munich Film Museum for the Berlin Film Festival some dozen years ago. It is black magical in its editing, tinting, interesting subplots. All those elements are butchered in the 50-60 minute editions formerly available in this country.
Superb review: Most Helpful.

Inter-cutting (Reply to this comment)
by Stephen_Murray,  in Movies
It's been too long since I last saw "Birth of a Nation" to be sure about whether there is inter-cutting in it, but there certainly is in Griffith's "Intolerance." Murnau was the great visual master, whether or not he had priority for inter-cutting.

"According to many reviewers, it has never been surpassed by any of the dozens of vampire films made since, though I can’t personally vouch for the validity of that assertion..." I can't either. I've seen Nosferatu but certainly other than being older than Methuselah it hardly is better than the talkie with Bela Lugosi. Glad to see somebody reviewing these old influential films! Cheers!
