Friday, April 03, 2009 French, German, Dutch, Whatever  On Werner Herzog's Nosferatu: "Herzog prepared to shoot in the Dutch town of Delft. However, still bitter over their occupation by the Nazis during WWII, the citizens of Delft were less than enthusiastic about this small army of German filmmakers invading their town. When Herzog announced his plan to release 11,000 rats into the streets of Delft for the scene in which Nosferatu arrives (the director wanted grey rats but could only obtain white ones, which his crew painted grey), the Delft Mayor categorically refused and told the apparently insane German that his town had just spent months clearing the canals of their own home-grown rats and had no intention of reinfesting the area with laboratory rats from Hungary. Nonplussed, Herzog moved his rats to a more accommodating city, Schiedam, where he was allowed to shoot, albeit on a smaller scale. I thought of this because I saw a friend's photo from Amsterdam, which she titled "I felt like a character in a French movie a little bit," that made me think instead of of Nosferatu's daylight end scene, with carcasses littered everywhere.
