Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is arguably the director’s most ambitious and genre-specific project to date, and that resulted in a record-breaking performance which pushed the filmmaker’s career to new heights. The film is a very loose adaptation of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 film of the same name, which in turn is inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel “Dracula”. Eggers’ film is an extremely atmospheric and horror-infused retelling of this folk legend, fueled by fierce performances and striking cinematography. Movies like Nosferatu aren’t typically made today, which makes this movie’s success even more exciting.
