Oh man. Just after I resumed my ever-present musing on why nobody had released a proper, Metropolized version of Nosferatu, I learn that this just came out. Released, yes, by Kino again.

So. There we are. We’ve got it. My favorite silent film, presented as properly as it might be, for the first time in seventy-something years. And what a snazzy cover!

They even got this shot! You can see his head and everything!

Not sure about the English intertitles, though. Would it have been so much trouble to Photoshop the German text off the page, and locate the same, or a similar, typeface? Blug. It seems so ridiculous to have subtitles to intertitles, yet that might be the preferable route…
