“Nosferatu” and Robert Eggers are a match made in heaven. The director takes the most striking visual elements of the black-and-white 1922 film and adds his beloved meticulous realism, which only enhances the feeling of cold, vile horror that envelops all the characters as Count Orlok approaches.
The frame is viscous sweat, horror, cold, filth, black despair, thousands of rats, the genius of Willem Dafoe, plus a deep erotic subtext that makes comparisons with Lars von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac” not such a joke. All in all, an ideal family movie for Christmas. 0 reply
