It is 1850 in the beautiful perfectly kept town of Wismar. Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) is about to leave on a long journey over the Carpathian Mountains to finalise real estate arrangements with a wealthy nobleman. His wife Lucy (Isabel Adjani) begs him not to go and is troubled by a strong premonition of danger. Despite her warnings Jonathan arrives four weeks later at a large gloomy castle. Out of the mist appears a pale wraith-like figure with a shaven head and deep sunken eyes who identifies himself as Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) The events that transpire slowly convince Harker that he is in the midst of a vampire. What he doesn't know however is the magnitude of danger he his wife and his town are about to experience as victims of the Nosferatu. Directed by Werner Herzog a leading figure in German Cinema's 'new wave' of the 1970's Nosferatu is widely recognised as one of the finest films of the vampire genre. A homage to F. W. Murnau's 1922 original Herzog's Nosferatu is driven towards tragedy and visual splendour rather than the gory bloodfests of later remakes. Herzog's frequent leading man and eccentric live wire Klaus Kinski (Android Lifespan Dr Zhivago) gives a sensational performance as the eerie goblin-like Dracula.

The Tin Drum is the newest entry into Umbrella's sub-label 'World Cinema' directed by Volker Schlöndorff. This drama is an adaptation of the 1959 novel The Tin Drum by Günter Grass and was mostly shot in West Germany. The film also won the Palme d'Or at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival and Best Foreign Language Film at the 1980 Academy Awards.When Oskar Matzerath (the extraordinary David Bennent, just twelve at the time) receives a tin drum for his third birthday, he vows to stop growing there and then and woe betide anyone who tries to take his beloved drum away from him, as he has a banshee shriek that can shatter glass.As a result, he retains a permanent child's-eye perspective on the rise of Nazism as experienced through petit-bourgeois life in his native Danzig, the free city' claimed by both Germany and Poland whose invasion in 1939 helped kick-start World War II.With the help of Luis Buñuel's favourite screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière, director Volker Schlöndoff turns Günter Grass' magical-realist masterpiece into a carnivalesque frenzy of bizarre, grotesque yet unnervingly compelling images as Oskar turns his increasingly jaded eye and caustic tongue on the insane follies of the adult world that he refuses to join.BANNED IN OKLAHOMA (2004) A film by Gary D.
