When director Robert Eggers was 9 years old, he got a beat up VHS copy of the film and fell in love. Now a renowned filmmaker in his own right, Eggers has written and directed his own version. He wasn’t the first to do so. In 1979 German filmmaker Werner Herzog put his spin on Nosferatu too. So how does Eggers’s film differ from Herzog’s? From Murnau’s? What do these three films, made in vastly different contexts, say about the times in which they were made? In this video I hope to find out.
