Personal Quote:

I think films of the future will use more and more of these "camera angles" or, as I prefer to call them, these "dramatic angles". They help photograph thought.[1928] See more »

Trivia:

Because of legal disputes with the descendants of Bram Stoker the director Murnau did not use the name Dracula for the movie Nosferatu but changed it to count Orlok. This movie is regarded as a jewel of the German silent movie film and because of the intensely play of Max Schreck there occurred many rumors about him which last till today. See more »
