He’s a professional. That’s part of the game. Especially when you’re retailing a story that has been depicted on screen for over a century, there’s not much else to add/say about it in interviews so it may come off as repetitive
I'm glad the director pronounces the title correctly. So many reviewers online pronounce it incorrectly that I thought I was taking crazy pills and had to check.
Thoroughly enjoyed the film, and I particularly like the rendition of the Count, bushy moustache and all. The translation of him into a undead noble, rather than something closer to Max Shreck’s ‘creature’ was a really great choice. I had the privilege of seeing it on IMAX- the HDR is really important, unfortunately I think it’ll translate particularly badly if it ends up streaming or (even worse) DVD.
@@jyronyoungOh no need to speculate, he's talked before about how he absolutely grew up around a bunch of occult stuff and he finds it very captivating. He's said in an interview before he's almost worried he'll get too deep into it, but now his fascination seems mostly scholarly and aesthetic
I’m a fan of learning about occultism, I find it fascinating…. Doesn’t mean I practice it or in a secret society! I just enjoy mythology and how people interpret how the world works(or doesn’t work).
Yeah, that's very appropriate to wear in an interview. You people are so unaware of how you appear. Even famous people intentionally dress like slobs because the rich and successful are despised by this limited and lazy generation. If you are presenting yourself, and can afford whatever you want, and this what you choose? It's a lack of taste.
@@olgaolga2126 oh that’s awesome! He’s one of my all time favorites and I’ve also noticed that a lot of my favorite creatives are influenced by him as well
he could do a version of Viy given the psychosexual themes of it, but maybe the setting would be too alien for Hollywood film production ie how many in the west would find cossacks and orthodox priests recognisable.. but maybe the story could be transposed to more familiar setting, for example 19th century Irish village and a Catholic priest..
I came in hesitant becuse of The Northman (very disappointed with what I'd been expecting to see). But I'm relieved that Eggers gave us another work of cinematic art.
As far as movie Leptirica goes. It’s not that vampire in Serbia looks like werewolf. Its that there was no taxonomy in vocal folklore tradition and that some people described it as a shadow and some as hairy and most as looking abnormally healthy or red in cheeks when it drinks a lot of blood etc. Clear categories are modern concepts. Before it was a word of mouth of supposed eye witnesses or some old fairytales or events made up by many different people. There is also a fact that Werewolf and Vampire are demons who intersect like in Coppola Dracula where he turns into a werewolf but he is a vampire. Or if someone is simply a werewolf he has same characteristics as a vampire in terms of modus of behavior and other attributes except the form itself and connection to the wolf totem.
Murnau did an adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde that is now lost.. that would also be a good fit for Eggers given the themes and we haven't had a good film of it for some time..
The majority of the film I loved. I loved the scenes in the castle. Zero complaints about Dracula. Wasn’t wild about the “crazy” servant. Love Willem, but even he was a bit over the top at times. I guess I have a slightly more reserved preference with horror. I do HATE loud clips in films, I’d prefer pieces of silence and horror visuals. Can’t wait to buy and rewatch this multiple times, and listen to entire commentary. I love the focus on the sound of breathing used in this film and Longlegs, it is effective for me in raising my heart rate.
@ late night with the devil, heretic, nosferatu, , long legs, cuckoo, terrifier 3, the substance, maXXXINE, I saw the tv glow, oddity. Great year in my opinion.
@@mostlydead3261 I know you're probably not directing this at me, but I agree that it doesn't matter and has nothing to do with his art form. If it has any effect on his work, it’s that his films are hyper-accurate with their occultist stuff, which every film of his contains, especially Nosferatu.
Not specifically the occult, but he has a romanticized view of the past/ folklore/ religion. A lot of his films focus on times where the religious beliefs felt real to the people. because of that he dives deep into the intricacies of these belief systems. Whether that's viking folklore, nautical folklore, northeast American judeo christian folklore, or more occult gothic beliefs, he represents it with much detail and accuracy.
It's happened in the past 10-12 years. People are lacking energy and you hear a lot of what is called "Vocal fry" . Voice lessons teach you how to raise your voice.

Eggers made a good film here BUT there are several missteps & things that simply make no sense & also have ZERO to do with the story of Dracula of which the original 1922 film is based on. First of all, Dracula wasn’t just sleeping and/or trapped in some void & was then ‘invoked’ by the female protagonist. Count Orlock/Dracula is a vampire not a demon. Huge mistake playing it that way. Eggers also completely failed to explain Ellen’s connection to the Occult that Dafoe’s character eludes to, which is supposed to somehow loosely justify a vampire behaving more like an emasculated demon than a VAMPIRE! He played it safe too. This film could’ve been sooooo much scarier & disturbing but he resorts to demonic tropes & jump scares. It’s a good film but far from a faithful retelling of Nosferatu/Dracula. The vampire was never ‘invoked’ & in this film, if he was able to travel to Ellen in the beginning on thin air, he wouldn’t need to involve a real estate manager & a real estate upstart to facilitate buying real estate in Germany/England & travel on a ship. This is Eggers doing a total spin and then still trying to incorporate elements of the original story & it not lining up plot wise at all. The Renfield/Herr Lok character reveal early in the film having him naked sitting on a pentagram doing some demonic ritual was a HUUUUUUGE fail. Again he resorts to the Occult/Demonic trope which makes Orlock more like a King Paimon than a vampire. Terrible choice. Dafoe’s character? Laughable & again makes zero sense. His character is supposed to be essentially Van Helsing a vampire hunter not an alcoholic mystic who makes a grand statement about the dark things he’s seen that would’ve terrified Isaac Newton oh but then….HAS NEVER SEEN A VAMPIRE!!!! 😂😂😂 HAS NO EXPERIENCE OR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. Gimme a break!! This movie almost feels like the script was written by Chat GPT. Seriously. Saw it twice. Good film in that it entertained me, great cinematic experience in terms of the cinematography & music. Other than that?! Thumbs down. Orlock looked like the Swedish Chef from The Muppets too. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not scary.
Funny how what became the most exciting part of the story for Eggers ended up being what ruined it for me. And don't can't call it symbolism when you practically spoonfed it to the audience. Sorry Robert, but you should've just done a quick Possession remake while you were developing Nosferatu 😂
well Eggers is p open about Possession being one of his favorite films.. and the influence on what he fone with the lead female character here is p obvious to anyone who watched Possession.. so u could say that this is in part also a remake of Possession..
I just have watched Nosferatu. Congratulations, mr. Eggers, you have destroyed a classic of cinema. Your version is too noisy, too dark, too dramatic, and too feminist. You made Ellen the main character, you stole me the great climatic scene of Murnau's movie. What a big piece of trash
Ellen Hutter was the hero in the original as well. She sacrificed herself to destroy Orlok. That's what happened in the original as well as the new one. She warned her husband not to go. Her stupid husband should have listened to her. But, he wanted to further his career.
