The trials and tribulations of a hapless vampire: his love, his loneliness...Nosferatu Tango is a love song to the German expressionism of the original silent film, while adding a sweet quirky humor to its colorful visuals. The end gimmick that also justifies the otherworldly visuals is a triumph in its own right and the mix of European languages in the narration make it accessible to all while adding a layer of authenticity to it. It isn't often an animator can successfully craft something slightly expressionist and Gothic without reminding us of Tim Burton, and Horvarth should be applauded for this feat alone.I first witnessed this intriguing curiosity of a film at the university in Switzerland, uncertain what to expect from a local animator. Any negative prejudice was brushed aside by "Nosferatu Tango".Zoltan Horvarth has marked himself as a talent to watch in animation. Whether you enjoy fairy tales, vampires, design or just being plain entertained, "Nosferatu Tango" is a little gem you shouldn't miss.
