Nosferatu

everything firing on all cylinders. gorgeous cinematography within every frame, hypnotic sound design, absolutely batshit crazy acting, and a constantly evolving story with immaculate pacing.   i mean i did not think i was going to like that as much as i did. yes i saw the glowing reviews, but as someone who had a hard time finishing an eggers movie, i was hesitant. but holy shit i was completely stunned. this movie did not hold back. i think something very important to note is how evident it’s theme shined through. the way it presented shame and loneliness through its main character was oddly relatable. something that i didn’t think was possible in an 19th century folktale. it was so overpowering that i was truly getting emotional watching ellen kiss the disguising, gangly, old orlock as she gained the strength to control her past desires.  fucking wild. need to rewatch but not anytime soon.
