This black and white, silent film with music by Helge Schneider, avec Udo Kier as a vampire and Alfred Noble as an Indian chief ce que commissioned by the musée du cinéma de Düsseldorf to inaugurate their cinema institution. The look and feel of the film stems from the silent film era, but the camp style and over use of clichéd characters bears the trade mark of Schlingensief all over. “I love all things kitsch, like opera, and I feel inspired by music. I was interested in silent film but not a great deal”, said the director.
