Shadow of the Vampire
2000
**½
Director: E. Elias Merhige
Cast: John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Cary Elwes, Udo Kier, Eddie Izzard
F.W Murnau shoots his famous Nosferatu and he's the only one who knows that his leading actor is a real vampire. The moviemaking world of the 1920s is wonderfully recreated but, all in all, this is an overlong one-joke film.
