PH Awards: NOSFERATU

A total descent into darkness, Robert Eggers’ reimagining of NOSFERATU proves yet again why he is one of the most distinctive and exciting filmmakers working today. For this version, Eggers insists that evil must be looked at straight on, that it’s a part of everyday life, which makes this a provocative, potent, unnerving viewing experience. And, the film is a technical marvel that looks and feels like a demented fairytale, largely thanks to cinematographer Jarin Blashke, production designer Craig Lathrop, and editor Louise Ford, all of whom have worked on every one of Eggers' four features. This NOSFERATU is one for the ages: at once reverential to F.W. Murnau’s original and also daring, modern, and a vision all its own.
