Nosferatu (1922) Directed by F. W. Murnau

Please, call me Frankenstein. Frankenstein was my father, but stealing his name and overriding his presence in the dominant cultural consciousness has been really, really satisfying

I hope everyone understands that they can just...up at watch Nosferatu (1922) for free on YouTube. Like it's not "Oh I wish I could watch it" You can.

What's great is that, technically, you're engaging in piracy no matter what format you watch it in because every copy of the movie was supposed to have been destroyed in 1926 at the behest of the Stoker estate.

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

im actually obsessed with (real) european traditional culture and dress and hair, as opposed to what a lot of ppl think of just being a very whitewashed western modern look. shit didnt always look like that and im so so so so so happy i got to see some accurate older european looks in the romania scene. all the costuming was so good, i couldnt stop focusing on annas hairstyles and ellens dresses, and i hated nosferatus mustache, but its so era appropriate i cant complain too much

probably my favorite movie from 2024
