NOSFERATU

JANUARY 31 - FEBRUARY 2

"HE'S HERE!" Nosferatu- the art-house gothic horror hit that has cast a shadow of success over the film industry finally arrives at the JPT.

Filmed on gorgeous desaturated 35mm film by visionary director Robert Eggers, this remake of the 1922's landmark vampire fable (the original being an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula, with the latest following source-material suit) has an irresistible bite. Combining pristine cinematography and authentic Czech Republic locales with passionate A-list performances, Nosferatu is the rare horror film that is also intelligent art-house fare.

In the 1830s, estate agent Thomas Hutter travels to Transylvania for a fateful meeting with Count Orlok, a prospective client. In his absence, Hutter's new bride, Ellen, is left under the care of their friends, Friedrich and Anna Harding. Plagued by horrific visions and an increasing sense of dread, Ellen soon encounters an evil force that's far beyond her control.
