um he is i think a real auteur filmmaker and and one of the greatest working and alive he's he's just and it's you know what i was thinking about this the other day as well he's so dedicated to the craft of filmmaking in terms of technically emotionally historically what he creates there were moments where he was like watching old films to try and figure out what was the best snow we could use because he shot all on all on film he's he's like you said the look is so important in terms of turning this story but he
So he was like, why is the snow good in these movies, but it's not good in these? And then he found like some old stock snow that isn't made anymore. Fake snow from the 90s or whatever. And they managed to locate just enough. That's asbestos. And I'm breathing this asbestos in and I'm like, God, this movie is beautiful. And it's worth it. There's a reason they don't use it anymore.
So I was poisoning myself. God, it looks good on screen. He is like, yeah.
it's just his dedication to like the details of historically but also like exploring the occult and the emotional aspects of this story it's something he's wanted to make since he was 8 years old and there was a play of it he did at school so no one could have told it better what are the Eggers movies that you were really drawn to
I mean, The Witch was the first one I saw, and I met him after that, which I just thought, all his movies feel so real, which is kind of a weird thing, because I'm not necessarily a horror fan.
Oh, he's a master of creating tension. I think you're going to love that. I think I'm excited for you to see it because it's like the tension he creates, but it is visually stunning. And the score and the sound is like imposing and fills your bones.
But then there's this weird thing where it's like, you're watching and you're like, you can't take your eyes away because it's like looking at a Rembrandt every scene, every shot. But then there's also this thing where you like don't want to look away because you're also, this is scary. Something's coming, something's happening. And it's
It's a really interesting exploration of kind of the evil that we all have within ourselves, but also externally coming and how that affects us. So I'm excited. I think it's a really good movie.
Yeah, in Wittsburg, Germany. So it's kind of a gothic tale, I guess. Yeah. But then, yeah, going back to his movies, of course, The Lighthouse, and Willem Dafoe's in this one as well. Him and Rob were so brilliant in that movie.
What I'm saying is go check out the lighthouse. Get the costume on as well.
Oh, the costumes, Linda, the costumes that she created are all impeccable and stunning. But it is all that detail again. It's like his historical knowledge of everything going on. And because he leads from the front with such passion, everyone around just really wants to bring their best and do their best to serve his vision.
But then I would text him thinking he'd be asleep about something in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day here, but which middle of the night in London. And he'd be like, oh, I'm up. I'm researching which cigars your character should smoke in this scene and whatever. He'd be like, dude, go to bed. It's 3 or 4 a.m. in London. What are you doing?
But he's just constantly so, so in the zone of what's right for the story in every minute. Smoking thousands of cigars.
Yeah. Oh, his performance is magic as well, because he's created, you know, this monster, Count Orlok, but he's given it such history and rooted in something very real. So, you know, it's terrifying. It's scary, but it's also amazing. It's also real.
I don't like that. I don't like that. I always equate it to like when you're at school and you did a test and you're waiting for the results to come in. There's that nerve wracking feeling where you're like, ugh. And it depends also how you left the shoot in terms of how you, your overall feeling there. Like, did you feel like you gave a lot of variation on each scene in the edit?
If they want, they're going to have options. Did you feel like... you explored everything you could have done. And then that's a different feeling as opposed to if you walk away from something and you go, I think I missed a bit here or actually that could have been better. And suddenly then you're looking back and you're like, oh no.
So it's an odd feeling waiting for something to come out and not something I look forward to particularly.
You made me say it.
