• On the cinematography of Nosferatu

  № 110

  

  Last week, I watched Robert Eggers' Nosferatu for the first time. I loved his work on The Witch and adored the madness of The Lighthouse, so was keen to see his take on this classic. And, it was breathtaking.

  I watched it projected on a wall, sound blasting through a great installation, and the cinematography completely blew me away. The atmosphere they were able to create for this film is nothing short of astonishing. During a few scenes, I noticed I literally sat there with my mouth open. Visuals, audio, acting; everything's spot-on.

  

  CineD had a closer look at how they were able to get it done—especially the practical lighting, when seen onscreen, is magical.
