Episode notes
Robert Eggers brings us his take and vision on the silent picture from 1922, ‘Nosferatu’, and my goodness it is VERY good.
Starting as a passion project back in 2015, Eggers has delivered on bringing audience a terrifyingly gorgeous picture that will lock you in a trance from minute one. The tone and atmosphere are impeccable, as well the stunning sets and costumes, on top of some staggering cinematography courtesy of Jarin Blaschke.
But the main stand outs in this Gothic supernatural horror are its leads, Lily-Rose Depp, who puts on an outstanding performance, and Bill Skarsgård, who is lost in the makeup and embodied the malevolent Count Orlok.
‘Nosferatu’ deserves all the praise it is receiving, and then some. It is already a serious contender for film of the year… and it’s only January…
