In addition to being gorgeous and atmospheric, I would argue that the blue-tinted shots of Nosferatu (2024) also amount to something I’m gonna call Cholera Lighting.

Cholera is one of the defining diseases of the Victorian era. It was certainly one of the most deadly. The 1830s heralded a massive cholera pandemic, theorized to have originated in Asia and arrived in Europe via trade routes.

Like the oft-romanticised Consumption, cholera caused the patient to waste away. But its swiftness displaced the Victorian ideal of a long-suffering, prolonged death to consumption, especially for middle class women. In the absence of rehydration therapies, cholera patients become so swiftly dehydrated that their skin turns blue and sallow. The disease runs its course in a matter of days. Victorian images of cholera patients show characteristic bluish skin and sunken eyes:

In addition, depictions of epidemics in Victorian era cartoons often personify them as Death (akin to Count Orlok) and/or employ deeply racist caricature (which I won’t show here but there’s plenty if you google it). Despite widespread fears of contamination among the wealthy, cholera was primarily a disease of poverty. Fears about where and when one might get sick are fuelled by racism and classism.

Of course, the fear of the Other is a fundamental cornerstone of Gothic horror. We’ve seen in our own experiences of pandemic the power of xenophobia. So too would survivors of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic, viewing the original Nosferatu.

While first and foremost paying homage to the appearance of the original film, high contrast blue lighting also gives the characters a classic choleric appearance. This highlights the horrors of illness and plague in their own rights and their capacities to upturn Victorian values surrounding “proper” life and death.

God rest my soul I miss who I used to be The tomb won't close Stained glass windows in my mind I regret you all the time

I sometimes think about men have almost the same rights, body autonomy, freedom in every country while for women life looks so different from country to country or at least from region to region.

In some countries you're forced to cover your head, in others you're prohibited from covering your head and in other countries you can wear/not wear what you want. You can have an abortion in that country but not this one. You can get education, degrees and have paying jobs in most countries but not in others. You can go to a doctor if you need to but there you can't because women aren't allowed to become doctors and women aren't allowed to see a male doctor..

I sometimes think about how shitty the country i live in is but then i think well at least i can get an education and go to a doctor.. i shouldn't have to be grateful for those things..
