...recklessness. The German director's movie sojourns take him not just to remote corners of Peru, Alaska and Thailand but also to the uncharted interior of man's highest, most lunatic dreams. In a 46-year career of great fiction films (Aguirre, the Wrath of God; Heart of Glass; Nosferatu; Fitzcarraldo) and in a string of amazing, hallucinatory documentaries (The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, The White Diamond, Grizzly Man), Herzog, 64, has trekked into the emotional wilderness to capture on film humanity's heart of darkness, heart of hope...
Director F.W. Murnau’s precursor to his best known work, Nosferatu, The Haunted Castle is a tightly confined drama that takes place in a day at the shadowy Castle Vogelod. The film is set several months after a murder, when mysterious circumstances bring together key suspects and a host of peculiar characters. Enjoy one of the master’s earliest silent works with live piano accompaniment by Ukrainian HFA composer in residence Yakov Gubanov. Tickets $6. 9 p.m. Harvard Film Archive...

Elias Merhige's atmospheric drama imagines that Max Schreck, the actor who played the Dracula-like Count Orlock in the 1922 classic Nosferatu, really was a vampire. John Malkovich parades in fine, fey style as German director F.W. Murnau, and Dafoe, unrecognizable in Schreck's rodentoid pallor, is a hoot and a horror as the ultimate Method actor...
...nuts, and Herzog had to be a bit eccentric to keep casting him; the five films they made together turned their friendship into a holy war. Yet the combustion produced amazing adventures: Aguirre, the Wrath of God, in which Kinski goes berserk in the Peruvian rain forest, and Nosferatu the Vampire, with the actor as a pathetic, rodentoid Dracula. This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration with Kinski: an act of love and exorcism...
