As this film is being released on DVD next month, is there any balconeer that has any opinions, reviews, or what have you?

I've never seen it. Some of these 'lost' Murnau films are hurting his reputation and I hope that's not the case with this one.

There is also a box set that includes this and several other Murnau films being released at the same time. Here is a link to the Kino website: http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?product_id=1161

If you don't have these movies, I give the box my highest possible recommendation. Unfortunately I have three of 'em. Murnau, Lang and Lubitsch are all three worth collecting. With Pabst you need to be selective. No other German director interests me at all, and yeah, I've seen enough Fassbinder movies to dislike his work.

Thanks, Jazzy. I picked up the set. Can't pass up that deal.


I do have a question, however, on the print quality of Nosferatu in this set. The Kino release for NOSFERATU, in 2007, was a 2-disc affair. The NOSFERATU in the new boxed set has the same extras, but everything is crammed on one disc. Does anyone know why Kino did this, or if this will hurt picture quality?
