Nosferatu is a visually adhering new interpretation Cinemax

Robert Eggers’ Nosfer is a visually fixed reinterpretation of classic history, which is confused in the typical atmospheric tension and the careful period details of the director. The film by Alexander Skarsgård, which is anchored by a highly towering performance by Alexander Skarsgård, thrives on its eerie mood and his haunting performance. Skarsgård brings a fascinating mix of threat and susceptibility to the role, which makes the vampire both terrifying and unfortunate. In addition to him, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe deliver strong achievements that give history emotional depth and further enrich the Gothic vision of Eathers.

While the strengths of the film are in its impeccable production design, atmospheric score and unforgettable performance, the biggest mistake is its length. With just over two and a half hours, the pace begins to stage the second act, and some scenes feel excessively drawn. This enjoyment reduces the tension easily and leaves the second half of the film less effective than it could have been.

Still eggers’ Nosfer remains an impressive and urgent cinematic experience, a worthy homage to its classic source material. For fans of Gothic Horror and Eggers earlier work, it is a must, although its extensive term can test the patience of some spectators.
