Thank you so much! Fern can emote her disdain and ennui without needing to say a single word! 🤣👍🎞🎨

Given the themes and aesthetic of Genuine, I'm kind of surprise that either My Chemical Romance or Bauhaus have never made a concept album about this film ...

Love this! You really captured the cynical apathy of her Vamp-ishness

Being a vamp seems so stressful even with all of the laying on chaise lounges involved

Photo of Robert Weine wearing a hat and glasses with a cigarette stump in his mouth standing in front of a lot of parked cars.

I think it would be cool if there was a movie watch party that paired classic high-end German Expressionist films with lowbrow B-Movie monster flicks as double-features. It would be called "Wiene and Cheese ..."

Pen drawing of Count Orlak the vampire wearing a cap and a feathered cap drawn on a restaurant sales slip inspired by Nosferatu.

F.W. Marnau saw Genuine: The Tragedy of a Vampire and said, "That was great and all, but it would be better if it had more swashbuckling adventure, and silly hats ..."

Pen drawing of Bill Pullman glancing upward with a worried expression on his face drawn ona black background.

Chaotic sax riff performed by Bill Pullman's charater in Lost Highway ..

🤣 Personally, I'm really digging the score on this film! Like a John Carpenter synth nightmare mixed with some Film Noir sax riffs and a spooky sound effects haunted house CD, as interpreted through John Diliberto's Echoes ambiant music show!

Image of a man and a woman embracing on an abstract expressionist bed from the film Genuine (1920).

I have to admit, this set is kind of how I've always imagined Tim Burton decorating his bedroom going back to my days as a huge Nightmare Before Christmas / Beetlejuice head in elementary school ...

Pen drawing of Brigitte Helm smiling creepily and squinting an eye drawn on a torn notebook page.

Gal's got the Maria in Metropolis Crazy Eyes! Was saying just last night for Fright Club's presentation of The Man Who Laughs, but that over-the-top silent film emoting is really a lost art!

I love how a lot of German Expressionist films bring the design motifs over to the dialogue cards as well! No sefif design borders intended for carving into middle class furniture here, friends!

Image of a blank yellow Post-it note sitting on a desk beneath a pen on a desk.

Now that we're up to the main feature, I'm getting started on a new portrait of silent film icon Fern Andra for tonight's presentation! Should have some new art by the end of the show!

#GenuineTheTragedyofaVampire La estética y los decorados beben mucho de Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, y el vestuario de Genuine no puede envidiar a Lady Gaga. También Genuine me ha recordado mucho a Musidora en Les Vampires 💜
