Shadow of the Vampire (2000) starring John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe. A dramatization, fancifully reimagined, of the making of the 1922 film "Nosferatu." Malkovich plays F.W. Murnau, the director; and Dafoe won an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Max Schreck, the "character actor" who just may be an actual vampire. This movie says as much about filmmakers as about vampires, and it is beautifully executed. Dafoe's performance is near perfection. The subtitles that come with the disc are very good. Grade: A-
