Eggers, the mastermind behind The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, has been one of the most interesting filmmakers to watch over the past 10 years. Every time he makes a movie, he brings something new to the table while sticking to a characteristic aesthetic and visual language that makes him unique amongst a crowded market of lookalike pictures. So yeah, let’s see what he has in store for us next.
Nosferatu opens in theaters on December 25.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
