Every time I see his interviews, I'm relieved that he is still relatively young. I'm probably going to be looking forward to his movies for the rest of my lifetime.
Think I'd go with craftsman. He seems like an exacting perfectionist with a very good eye. Definitely an "every frame a painting" director. Very conscious and controlled with his visual pacing, story and plot rollout. Very astute director. We should be grateful to have him, but slow your roll, Capt GenZ. Everything you experienced last Thursday isn't the greatest everall of very always.
When the shot of the crossroads in the woods came up, just before the carriage ride, I audibly gasped along with my wife. It was such a beautiful shot. This deserves to be watched on the big screen.
Same. The white of the snow contrasted with the blackness of the forest was stunning and made it look like a black and white movie, a nod I assume to the original.
So stoked to have witnessed the rise of Eggers in the industry. It was an interview from Pattinson saying he really wanted to work with him, right before they went into production on The Lighthouse, and I've been hooked since
Honestly I'm amazed how he has gained popularity as he did with his work. Almost by accident I went in The Lighthouse completely blind and was absolutely mezmerized by what I just witnessed then. I am a big sucker for movies that make you feel uncomfortable and tickle your brain in ways you've never experienced before, and it was the perfect movie for that. But after this I was totally convinced that the "masses" will never get the beauty behind all of this insanity, but somehow now we have nosferatu filling the cinemas and he's getting recognized as one of the most promising directors these days - while mostly staying true to his unique "uncomfortable" style. I'm really happy and hope he doesn't crumble under the increasing pressure of expectations.
@Sophet well said, and I fully agree, I hope he never loses that completely fearless eye behind the lens. By far the most original director we've seen in a while
To me Eggers, more then any other current director, feel like a painter and you can feel his brush in every shot he makes. Intentional, controlled and utterly beautiful.
I watched it in the cinema yesterday and that scene gave goosebumps. It scared me more than any of the other obviously "scary" moments and jump scares in the film.
This dude is one of the best modern directors - no one creates a sense of dread and atmosphere the way Eggers does. It does not suprise me in the least he loves Tarkovsky - I would imagine seeing the Lighthouse and The Witch he is probably a fan of Bela Tarr as well.
Dread. That’s the exact emotion he nail’s especially in Nosferatu. Doom your fate is sealed, it’s boring. Dread has a slight sense of hope which makes it even more terrifying. You can possibly survive in his circumstances and world which makes it dreadful.
His understanding of the craft but also his ability to critique himself in a way that’s constructive is so refreshing. It shows that he is humble but always open to progress. I love his work.
I love the fact that Eggers loves continuous shots. I am someone who can't really see a marvel movie in theaters anymore, because the constant jumpcuts and bright vfx usually give me a headache. It's so much easier for me to follow what's happening in a continuous dolley shot, especially one with a lot of action. It's one of my favorite things about his movies.
I feel the same about new anime fighting scenes, too much jumpcuts and movement. Early one piece has more impact and emotion with simple longer shots and different angles of the same scene.
Thank you for pointing that out! It never occured to me why exactly I'm so amazed by his work and why I'm similarly suprised why his particular style is getting so much (well deserved) attention while being more or less the exact opposite of mainstream cinema these days - like i mentioned somewhere else, his movies perfectly make you the viewer uncomfortable - nothing I would've expected the mass consumers of bland marvel cinema to be interested in. But I think you pointed it out perfectly: He's actually bringing back cinema as an art form - actively using creative techniques to play with perception and emotions of the viewer rather than throwing the most boring and bland CGI action garbage on the screen with no craftsmanship.
That one shot in Nosferatu of the coach flying towards the castle with the wolves running behind literally gave me chills. So gorgeous. Also, the part just before that on the dark road when the stagecoach comes out of the dark to pick Thomas up, the snow, the lighting, so good.
I can see it. Both are detail-oriented perfectionists with a unique visual style. Though it seems Eggers is much less of an asshole on a personal level (I say this as a fan of Kubrick).
Nosferatu´s opening scene really is insanely good, it caught my interest for the film immediately, Ellen whispering for someone/something in pitch black darkness, with the pale blue lighting making her the center of everything, almost looking like a porcelain doll, it´s hauntingly beautiful...and it´s a good contrast to the ending scene, where the sunlight shines that tragically beautiful picture of the two lying in bed, with the lilacs, embraced in death, closing their twisted unholy love story
What a great idea for an interview or promo I just want to say keep these specific videos rolling I would love to hear any director give their best shots, as a filmmaker this is just pure gold, what a great director to ask too, Eggers is one of my favorite filmmakers
Wow had he not said it did not even realize how well hidden that long take was in opening of Nosferatu. Excellent young talent, love his story telling style
A truly stunning and haunting take on Nosferatu! I’m amazed at how Eggers transformed the essence of this silent classic into a captivating experience for today’s audience. Brilliantly executed!
My favorite shot is when he’s inside of the cabin in the Gypsy camp. It’s pitch black with the candles as the only light source. It naturally creates a gritty, grainy, and grimy atmosphere. Very beautiful
Both Eggers, Aster and Tarentino spark the creative director/writer side of me. All of them inspire me to wanna direct my own movie. Its great hearing eggers talk about what inspires him and how he gets certain shots that he imagines, bringing them to reality. Truly inspiring work of art.
I honestly thought the witch was going to be more sinister vibe. I was sooo into the history and dialogue. Shot in natural light. The clothes and sets being made with tools from that period. We are going to see Noferatu next week.
Great director, I love all his films. From his debut The Witch I realized that he was someone who knew what great cinema and art are and is demonstrating it wonderfully. For me The Lighthouse is his masterpiece so far. Nosferatu, seen a few days ago, is a great remake and film, not easy. Very brave work and for me very successful
When the Witch came out, I was in my first year of college and I was smoking weed with some of my friends when we decided to go to the movies. We snuck in to watch the movie and I was not ready for the experience. I think that really cemented for the lifelong commitment I have to support this man. I don't smoke anymore, but I've been at Robert's premieres every single year he releases.
the (near) final shot of Nosferatu is one of the best I've ever seen. It's incredible how he keeps having absolutely incredible final shots in all his films.
the whole opening sequence was top tier filmmaking. and the shot that Eggers is describing - with Orlok's shadow in the curtains while she's levitating - gave me chills. My second favorite shot was Orlok's hand gliding over Wisborg. And my third is easily when the horses arrive before Thomas at the crossroads
Nice that Robert cited the burning barn shot in Tarkovsky's Mirror as influential. It's always been one of my favorites, since well before TH-cam existed.
The best shot in The Lighthouse was right at the beginning, when Winslow and Thomas are just standing there, staring off in the distance, then Thomas casually places his clay pipe in his mouth. An intriguing introduction that nails each character’s personality: apprehensive, and old hand at this.
Nosferatu is his most personal and best film I think, a masterpiece of pure horror. His pick of Tarkovsky Mirror is also my favorite shot ever made, the burning barn. Eggers is the best young director no doubt, best of his generation.
Probably not, but mostly because even how he explains filming The Lighthouse, using cyan filters and using the old school black and white filming methods to be more authentic to the period. If he were to create Nosferatu in the black and white format he would’ve filmed it with that intention from the start. I’m sure the colour palette he uses in Nosferatu is highly intentional and just clicking a filter to make it black and white wouldn’t be reflective of his vision
@@MSIceWiz Good points you have there. I still believe they will, at some point, release a black and white version just like Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley.
Every time I see his interviews, I'm relieved that he is still relatively young. I'm probably going to be looking forward to his movies for the rest of my lifetime.
Random comparison but he is the age now that Ridley Scott was when he made Alien
Exactly
Doesn’t look like the nonce type either
@@Andrew_Franklin so maybe we won't be that lucky 😢
extremely looking forward to watching both careers of robert eggers and ari aster develop, hopefully for decades and decades to come 🤞
The shot of the carriage ride in Nosferatu is amazing. Reminded me of Bloodborne and being transported to Cainhurst.
hahaha! I thought the same exact thing!
Hell yea
That is EXACTLY what I thought in the theater last week 😂
Literally almost stood up and applauded. That shot literally took my breath away.
If they were to ever make a Bloodborne movie, Eggers is the guy
The shot of the forest and the horses bringing Thomas to Count Orlok's castle is just incredibly terrifying. Masterpiece.
My favourite shots of the film, just incredible.
He must have played bloodborne
It really felt like an old classic hollywood style shot
i wanted to comment the exact same thing, my god that scene was jaw dropping good.. Masterpiece..
Yes, and then it's followed with the amazing scene in the dining room with the fireplace and Orlok always being huge and out of focus. So good
No sense of ego with Mr Eggers he's so honest about his process. Mind blowing genius.
Think I'd go with craftsman. He seems like an exacting perfectionist with a very good eye. Definitely an "every frame a painting" director. Very conscious and controlled with his visual pacing, story and plot rollout. Very astute director.
We should be grateful to have him, but slow your roll, Capt GenZ. Everything you experienced last Thursday isn't the greatest everall of very always.
Can’t be a creative without a hint of ego.
Calm down
Interesting, this is a subjective take because I perceive a bit too much ego to my taste
Okay maybe I went a little overboard!
When the shot of the crossroads in the woods came up, just before the carriage ride, I audibly gasped along with my wife. It was such a beautiful shot. This deserves to be watched on the big screen.
Same. The white of the snow contrasted with the blackness of the forest was stunning and made it look like a black and white movie, a nod I assume to the original.
And the sound design of it all! From serene to terror. OMG
I was watching with my friend and reflexively said "how the hell do you even film that?"

When he says he doesn’t like accidents, it really ring true when you see his films. Everything feels intentional and calculated
To me Eggers, more then any other current director, feel like a painter and you can feel his brush in every shot he makes. Intentional, controlled and utterly beautiful.
That carriage scene in the woods, though. So surreal and beautifully otherworldly!
I watched it in the cinema yesterday and that scene gave goosebumps. It scared me more than any of the other obviously "scary" moments and jump scares in the film.
Hard to choose a favorite from each film. Almost every shot is worth hanging on the wall
This!!!
He’s made four movies.
Imagine what he’ll be making in another 10-15 years.
This dude is one of the best modern directors - no one creates a sense of dread and atmosphere the way Eggers does. It does not suprise me in the least he loves Tarkovsky - I would imagine seeing the Lighthouse and The Witch he is probably a fan of Bela Tarr as well.
Dread. That’s the exact emotion he nail’s especially in Nosferatu. Doom your fate is sealed, it’s boring. Dread has a slight sense of hope which makes it even more terrifying. You can possibly survive in his circumstances and world which makes it dreadful.
I think that every great director has to appreciate Tarkovsky
The way the camera moves in Nosferatu is incredible! The way it moves reminds me a bit of how Orlok moves
The Lighthouse is just beautifully shot.
His understanding of the craft but also his ability to critique himself in a way that’s constructive is so refreshing. It shows that he is humble but always open to progress. I love his work.
He’s so modest it makes me a little bit nuts, haha. Best filmmaker currently working.
His work is so evocative, taking us in disarming turns into the unconscious.

I feel the same about new anime fighting scenes, too much jumpcuts and movement. Early one piece has more impact and emotion with simple longer shots and different angles of the same scene.
I feel like he's just here to remind Hollywood of how filmmaking ought to be. He brings so much passion and tender attention to every frame.

Nosferatu has some of the most visually appealing images I’ve ever seen in cinema.. literally every frame in that movie is art
The final shot of Nosferatu is his best shot across his entire filmography. I’m my opinion.
It reminded me a little of the screaming demon in Apex Twin's Come To Daddy video.
The very last shot you say? That is beautiful, so much beauty and tragedy and pure darkness illuminated by the purest light
Imagine getting to be a fly on the wall where Cinefix and Eggers geeked out together over The Mirror
That one shot in Nosferatu of the coach flying towards the castle with the wolves running behind literally gave me chills. So gorgeous. Also, the part just before that on the dark road when the stagecoach comes out of the dark to pick Thomas up, the snow, the lighting, so good.
Dude is wise beyond his years. Incredible director.
Chris Columbus himself said that Egger's reminds him of a young Stanley Kubrick
I can see it. Both are detail-oriented perfectionists with a unique visual style. Though it seems Eggers is much less of an asshole on a personal level (I say this as a fan of Kubrick).
Nosferatu´s opening scene really is insanely good, it caught my interest for the film immediately, Ellen whispering for someone/something in pitch black darkness, with the pale blue lighting making her the center of everything, almost looking like a porcelain doll, it´s hauntingly beautiful...and it´s a good contrast to the ending scene, where the sunlight shines that tragically beautiful picture of the two lying in bed, with the lilacs, embraced in death, closing their twisted unholy love story
Nosferatu was gorgeous
The sascha Schneider shot in the lighthouse, the draguer scene, and count orlok’s hand moving over Germany have been my favorites
The Eggers-Blaschke combo is historic
What a great idea for an interview or promo I just want to say keep these specific videos rolling I would love to hear any director give their best shots, as a filmmaker this is just pure gold, what a great director to ask too, Eggers is one of my favorite filmmakers
0:48 painterly composition. Could easily imagine seeing this in a museum
Eggers bringing up Mirror to, of all places, CineFix is almost perfect
Wow had he not said it did not even realize how well hidden that long take was in opening of Nosferatu. Excellent young talent, love his story telling style
Extremely talented film maker. The Lighthouse and The Northman are my favourite films of the past decade.
A truly stunning and haunting take on Nosferatu! I’m amazed at how Eggers transformed the essence of this silent classic into a captivating experience for today’s audience. Brilliantly executed!
My favorite shot is when he’s inside of the cabin in the Gypsy camp. It’s pitch black with the candles as the only light source. It naturally creates a gritty, grainy, and grimy atmosphere. Very beautiful

Nosferatu was insane in IMAX, you're immersed in the world. The rising sounds alone pierces your soul.
Plus you get to see Nosferatu's wang
The shot at the crossroads just before he goes into the castle, looks like a painting, just beautiful!
This dude is the only director right now that is making actual ART
Jari Blaschke is such an amazing Cinematographer. I hope he gets an Oscar nom (maybe even a win) for Nosferatu
I am in awe of this director! His films are INCREDIBLE!
5:54 "I saw Nosferatu for the fisrt time when I was nine years old" Of course you did
Great director, I love all his films. From his debut The Witch I realized that he was someone who knew what great cinema and art are and is demonstrating it wonderfully. For me The Lighthouse is his masterpiece so far. Nosferatu, seen a few days ago, is a great remake and film, not easy. Very brave work and for me very successful
Nosferatu was phenomenal. The cinematography was unbelievable especially from the arrival at the village through the castle scenes.
When the Witch came out, I was in my first year of college and I was smoking weed with some of my friends when we decided to go to the movies. We snuck in to watch the movie and I was not ready for the experience. I think that really cemented for the lifelong commitment I have to support this man. I don't smoke anymore, but I've been at Robert's premieres every single year he releases.
stunning work of art , the lighthouse is my fav
the (near) final shot of Nosferatu is one of the best I've ever seen. It's incredible how he keeps having absolutely incredible final shots in all his films.
also the shot at 3:50 from the lighthouse is based on a painting called the hypnotist i believe
good call! hypnosis, from sasha schneider
Most people do one shots as a flex. This guy does a one shot then tries to take away attention from it. Beast.
lol seriously. Dude is on point
the whole opening sequence was top tier filmmaking. and the shot that Eggers is describing - with Orlok's shadow in the curtains while she's levitating - gave me chills. My second favorite shot was Orlok's hand gliding over Wisborg. And my third is easily when the horses arrive before Thomas at the crossroads

greatly appreciate the inclusion of the scenes from each respective movie
Lol at the aspect ration of the interview switching, props to the editor of the video!
it was a great shot when thomas hutter arrived at the gypsy village - the sound design of the music is quite immersive
As a massive Eggers fan I hope he always keeps his style
Nosferatu is his most personal and best film I think, a masterpiece of pure horror.
His pick of Tarkovsky Mirror is also my favorite shot ever made, the burning barn. Eggers is the best young director no doubt, best of his generation.
He’s a brilliant filmmaker we are so lucky he’s working ❤
the witch, and now nosferatu, are my 2 favorite movies of the last 10 years at least
Yeah Mirror is just unbelievable.
thomas meeting orlok was amazing! favorite moment
I love all of his films and his process !!
Obsessed w him
Him only being 31 when he made the witch is insane
Excited to see Nosferatu early next year 😀
He's just so cool.
The VVitch is still my favorite out of his films and definitely out of the 2010s
The ending of the witch was crazy
I'm so curious to know what each of Robert's rings are, What's on them, and what they mean
I think they're talismans that give him directing power.
Watched the witch the other night and when that wide shot came up i literally blurted out “niiiice”
Historically speaking Mirror is quiet a genius choice
Historically….?
@ yeah people’s houses haven’t stopped from burning… it is still a thing
Wow... Just a few days late for Novum's The VVitch guide!
Tarkovsky mentioned!
Black Philip FOR LIFE
Sounds like somebody likes living deliciously.
@@JobeSmith-dd4qe Bet she likes the taste of butter...
You got black Phillip tatted on you?? Nice
YES!
My favorite is when Thomas walks into the castle for the first time and Orlock figure is shown
I had the witch wide shot as my laptop background
the best one from nosferatu, is when the guy is going to the castle and is in the woods when the carriage comes to meet him and it's not close
Fucking love this guy
This dude gets it
😂😂 love this guy
Hands down the best director working today
Chill
*[One of]*
Yee
Absolutely
Put your hands up my boy…..
Very cool
The Witch used natural light, candlelight and 70 year old lenses to capture it all. He likes an old authentic feel for his films.
46k of the 47k Mirror videos are on this channel.
When he said, "The pacing of the Witch in general is fairly glacial. But this is even more so." was he referring to Nosferatu?
Before I watch the video (which can be before watching Nosferatu) does this video contain spoilers of this film?
No he just talks about the opening shot
@@ViriditasCollective thanks
You think Eggers might do a black and white release of Nosferatu?
I'd be very surprised if he don't.
@orcokiwo6703 I just watched The Lighthouse again, and listening to what he has to say, it'd be a crime against cinema if he didn't do it.
Probably not, but mostly because even how he explains filming The Lighthouse, using cyan filters and using the old school black and white filming methods to be more authentic to the period. If he were to create Nosferatu in the black and white format he would’ve filmed it with that intention from the start. I’m sure the colour palette he uses in Nosferatu is highly intentional and just clicking a filter to make it black and white wouldn’t be reflective of his vision
@MSIceWiz I see what you're saying, but it was just a thought.
@@MSIceWiz Good points you have there. I still believe they will, at some point, release a black and white version just like Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley.
Lol rob..u sold me
Eggers and Paul Thomas Anderson have a similar film making vibe.
All of Eggers’ films feel related somehow
you can see a lot of bergman and tarkovsky in the new wave film makers these days.
I agree about long takes sometimes distractingly drawing attention to themselves. That's why I couldn't get into "1917".
R Pattinson. Love it!
Black Phillip will always be hilarious to me. 🤣
He didn't pick any of the ones we recreated haha
I think he would make a sweet Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver adaptation.
How thrilled do you think they were that he just happened to bring up Mirror?
