#nosferatu 2024 interview

“It was clear to me from the beginning, and from what Rob [Eggers] was saying to me, it’s a love story with Count Orlok as much as it is with her husband. There’s a real love triangle there. And, especially my scenes with Bill [Skarsgård], Rob wanted there to be a palpable sensuality between the two characters. And I think it serves the story as well, because it makes things so much scarier. It’s so much scarier to think there’s a yearning going from, you know, really, between the two of them, rather than just this woman who’s kind of chased down by this scary demon that she, like, hates. She carries so much darkness within her, and that he, in a way, is a manifestation of that darkness. And so she’s pulled towards him for a reason. and she calls out to him […] there’s a mutual yearning there, and I think it makes the story so much more engaging, and so much scarier.”

Best part of vampire media is when one man bites another man and it’s such a strong intimate sexual awakening for the non vampire and they begin to float bc of the sheer power of gay vampire sex bites. Romance both /pos and /neg

Should I go to a viewing of the new Nosferatu 2024 movie cosplaying Lestat and sit there laughing until I get thrown out?

And should I turn up specifically wearing this.

“Ellen’s husband loves her, but he can’t understand these ‘hysteric’ and ‘melancholic’ feelings she’s experiencing, and he’s dismissive of her. The only person she really finds a connection with is this monster, and that love triangle is so compelling to me, partially because of how tragic it is.”

Robert Eggers wants you to see his Nosferatu as both a lover and a biter

“[…] weird kind of sacred marriage, in a union sense, and a sort of completion of some kind of destiny […] he’s [Orlok] the only person who can understand and fulfill a part of Ellen.”

wait wait hold on

Eggers and Depp intended Nosferatu to be read as a twisted Gothic love triangle about a woman struggling with her dark sexual desires?

then why didn't they. make EVEN A SINGLE CONSCIOUS MOMENT OF HER SCREENTIME. seem like she was REMOTELY into Orlock?

"she calls him to her!" yeah, once. when she's a lonely child. and then he long-distance rapes her for years with no evidence of any consensual contact after she realized what he was

if you wanted it to not seem like clear-cut rape, maybe she should have expressed any sentiment at all towards the vampire besides disgust, anger, and hopeless despair? even in a conflicted way? if you wanted her to seem repressed, maybe she shouldn't have displayed a robust, healthy sexual attraction to her husband that he matches in ardor?

(Physical arousal is involuntary so I need more fodder than that)

like I'm here for some twisted Gothic love. I write kinky fucked-up Crimson Peak fanfiction. but you have to give me something to actually suggest that there's any desire there at time of canon, guys

I love the movie as an analogy for long-term sexual abuse and as a rare twist on the Vampire Forbidden Love story where a woman actually is victimized and is allowed by the story to be angry about it, without being a pure chaste Madonna figure in her actual consensual sex life

but if that wasn't what they were going for...they missed the mark badly
