“Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (1979)” is Werner Herzog’s tribute to Murnau’s “Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens”(1929) which the director considers as the best film that ever came out of Germany. It stars Klaus Kinski as Dracula & Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker.
I am very happy to share with you these two photos of the trio on set. (Unknown photographer).

Many brilliant posters of Eyes Wide Shut have been made public with the distribution of the film, none as subtle as this one, in my humble opinion. Introducing polish artist Leszek Zebrowski and this poster of “Eyes Wide Shut”(1999, by S. Kubrick).
Zebrowski was born in 1950 in Gdansk and is the designer of over 350 posters, including this one. Check him out here: http://zebrowski-drawing.com/

Once again, my interest in Time Magazine covers kicks in. Here is Marlon Brando on the cover of the famous publication on January 22nd, 1973, right after his role in The Godfather (1972) AND Last Tango in Paris (1972), thus explaining the headline.

Frenchman Philippe Petit of Nemours, France, on August 7th 1974, attempted the impossible : a high wire walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center 1,368 feet (417 m) in the air, that lasted 45 minutes and ended with him getting arrested. Philippe’s routine and life became the subject of a very poetic documentary made in 2008 named Man on Wire (directed by James Marsh), but maybe not as poetic as these photos, shot by his friend who hid with him overnight in the tower, in order to install the wire.

English actor Gary Oldman came into to the spotlight as Sid Vicious in “Sid & Nancy”(1986). We all remember his role as Dracula in the 1992 Coppola film “Dracula”and of course in “Leon: The Professional”(1994) in which he played Stansfield. Recently, Oldman seems to be more interested in Hollywood but this won’t stop us from enjoying his more serious works and of course, this portrait of him by photographer Max Whitaker.

Swedish film star Greta Garbo (1905 – 1900) was photographed by renown photographer Clarence Bull (1896-1979), one of the greatest portrait photographers of the Golden Age of Hollywood. “The head of MGM’s stills department for nearly forty years, Clarence Sinclair Bull, along with “George Hurrell”, virtually invented celebrity portraiture as we know it today, capturing with rare artistry a breathtaking roster of stars in brilliant and often surprising ways. His magical and dream-like photographs – in particular his collaboration with Greta Garbo, whom he photographed almost exclusively from 1929 until 1941 became the classic images of Hollywood portrait photography, instrumental in fixing the essential look of a star and in setting standards of beauty male and female – to this day. ” – from http://www.hurrellphotos.com/default.asp?ID=48
