In places very good, in places rambling and lacking direction. You can tell this book has been enlarged from a short story (Nosferatu in Love) but I don't think its been improved. The early years stuff is interesting, a fictionalised biography of an interesting man in interesting times. Then the Nosferatu in Love section, which is about what happens when you can't escape your past whilst making a groundbreaking silent film! It inspired me to rewatch Nosferatu for the first time in over 20 years, helping me to see things in the film I hadn't seen, and see stuff in the story that I would have missed. Then Nosferatu in Love is repeated twice more, against the backdrop of making other films that aren't quite as interesting. Then he dies. The End. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From this prodigiously talented writer, a stunningly original "life" of F. W. Murnau, the German director. In the history of cinema, this novel's protagonist and subject ranks as a founding father, not least for his legendary horror film, Nosferatu. But here he is revealed as a hermetic genius who turns, tragically, against himself, becoming in a sense his own vampire. What shadows Shepard's Murnau--through the airfields of the Great War to cafes and clubs in Berlin in the twenties, and to the virtual invention of filmmaking--is the conflict between his impossibly high ideals and the heartbreaking memories of love betrayed and the lover who died in the trenches. From provincial Germany, briefly through Hollywood in its early days, to the South Seas, Nosferatu charts a life at once artistic, intellectual, and deeply human.
