This slow, uneventful sequel to Werner
Herzogís Nosferatu
exploits the dank Gothic mistinesss of Venice
so well that the city seems the natural home of the
vampire movie.
The home of the Princess, to which vampire hunter Professor
Catalano (Christopher
Plummer) comes to stay, is Palazzo
Barbaro, Canal Grande at Ponte dellíAccademia
(seen also in Richard
Attenboroughís In Love
and War, with Chris
O'Donnell as the young Ernest Hemingway, and Iain
Softley's Wings Of The
Dove).
Nosferatu prowls the misty Piazza
San Marco, while one of his victims plummets
dreamily from the Campanile.
The funeral of the Princess heads for San
Michele in Isola (again seen in Wings
Of The Dove), the cemetery island of the
Venetian lagoon.
