	Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (December 28, 1888 – March 11, 1931) was one of the most influential directors of the silent film era.
		Murnau's next two pictures, Four Devils (1928) and City Girl (1930), were modified to adapt to the new era of sound film and were not well received.
		Murnau did not live to see the premiere of his last film; he died in an automobile accident in Santa Barbara, California on March 11, 1931.

	f.w. murnau biography (1888 - 1931) and filmography
		Murnau is far from a nobody back in his native Germany, and he may fairly be judged the most distinguished and talented of all the directors bought over to Hollywood in the twenties with maximum publicity and the most elaborate red carpet treatment.
		He was born Friedrich Wilhelm Plumpe in Bielefeld in 1888 and as a young man was noted for his quiet and serious disposition.
		Yet Murnau's story of a resplendedly uniformed doorman's fall from glory is realized in images just as haunting and atmospheric as those in which he clothed his vampire tales.

		In Berlin, Murnau moved in artistic circles where homosexuality was accepted as a matter of course.
		In Hollywood, however, Murnau's homosexuality was the cause of much gossip, including the infamous rumor that his death on March 11, 1931 in an automobile accident was precipitated by his fellating his chauffeur while the latter was driving.
		While the scandalous rumors surrounding Murnau's death resulted in the appearance of only a handful of mourners at his funeral, one of those was Greta Garbo.

	Biographie: Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1888-1931
		Murnau realisiert seinen ersten Spielfilm "Der Knabe in Blau", eine freie Verfilmung des Romans "Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray" von Oscar Wilde (1854-1900).
		Murnau arbeitet in diesen Werken mit komödiantischen und kriminalistischen Elementen, um eine eigenständige dramaturgische und pointierte Bildsprache zu entwickeln.
		In der filmischen Umsetzung sexueller Freizügigkeit wird seine Sehnsucht deutlich, sich offen zu seiner Homosexualität bekennen zu können.

		Finally Murnau was offered a four year contract in Hollywood which saw the release of Sunrise in 1927, Four Devils in 1928 and City Girl in 1930.
		But Murnau was frustrated by the Hollywood system and the lack of control he now had over his artistry.
		So if necessity is the mother of invention then Murnau's contributions to film making were borne out of the limitations of the silent era.

		Murnau remained in Germany long enough to adapt Moliere's Tartuffe (1925) and Goethe's Faust (1926) to the screen; in 1927, having been offered a four-year contract in Hollywood, he left his native country for the United States.

	MURNAU - Eleven Days! 13 Films! at Film Forum in New York City
		One of the last and greatest of silent films as F.W. Murnau and his screenwriter Carl Mayer — fresh from their German triumph with The Last Laugh — were given an almost unlimited budget and artistic freedom for their first Hollywood picture, creating a nearly title-less visual poem.
		“Murnau’s use of figures in his settings (the little town, with its cabarets and wide squares) is more advanced than any of his contemporaries, and his fantasies — notably when Abel imagines the town is literally falling on him — remain extraordinary.” – David Shipman.
		With its country scenes shot on Oregon farmland, Murnau’s poem of the land was overtaken by sound (a part-talkie version has not survived) and studio truncation, but retains much of his dazzling visuals, with the camera gliding through the fields of wheat and urban scenes as memorable as those in Sunrise.

		The most gifted visual storyteller of the German silent era, director F. Murnau crafted works of great subtlety and emotional complexity through his absolute command of the cinematic medium.
		In Tartuffe, he revisits French playwright Moliére's fable of religious hypocrisy, in which a faithful wife (Lil Dagover) tries to convince her husband (Werner Krauss) that their morally superior guest, Tartuffe (Emil Jannings), is in fact a lecherous hypocrite with a taste for the grape.
		To endow the story with contemporary relevance, Murnau frames Moliére's tale with a modern-day plot concerning a housekeeper's stealthy efforts to poison her elderly master and take control of his estate.

		riedrich-Wilhelm Murnau was a great innovative storyteller and pictorial artist of the cinema, one of the few genuine landmarks of the seventh art.
		To such a degree that Friedrich-Wilhelm Murnau would be quite dizzy, if he were to be exposed to the profusion and variety of images and the type of image language that we’re used to seeing every day of our lives- especially the tenderest among us, our children.
		ecause such a roof demands solid beans and supports, I would like to suggest that Friedich-Wilhelm Plumpe, better known as Murnau, native of Bielefeld, Be taken less as a pioneer of the German cinema, than as one of the great forerunners of our common European cinema.
