On January 1st, Roberth Eggers' remake of Nosferatu was released in Venezuela, and I, with nothing to do, went to see this film that was one of my most anticipated of last year. A film that from its idea and concept is already a spectacle, due to the fact that he is one of the most interesting directors of the last decade and by bringing to theaters a story that has more than a century of having been released, this becomes not only an interesting experiment but also a feat that not any director could do. But Robert Eggers is not just any director, and he didn't have a normal cast either, as his stars included Bill Skargard, Lily Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor Johnson and Willem Dafoe.
El primero de enero se estrenó en Venezuela el remake de Roberth Eggers de Nosferatu, y yo, sin nada que hacer, fui a ver esta película que era una de mis más esperadas del año pasado. Una película que desde su idea y concepto ya es todo un espectáculo, por el hecho de ser uno de los directores más interesantes de la última década y al traer a cines una historia que tiene más de un siglo de haberse estrenado, esto se vuelve un experimento no solo interesante sino también una proeza que no cualquier director podría hacer. Pero Roberth Eggers no es cualquier director, y tampoco contó con un cast normal, ya que entre sus protagonistas se encontraban Bill Skargard, Lily Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor Johnson y Willem Dafoe.
Before going to see the new Nosferatu I wanted to see its original version, the 1922 one, and the truth is that thinking well the whole context of the film, it is understandable how it became such an important icon in the history of cinema. A film that is more than 100 years old and looks like that is undoubtedly a masterpiece, but, truth be told, as times have changed, despite watching it with admiration, I could not enjoy it well. However, bringing that story back to life is something that Roberth Eggers does to perfection, because you can tell that he not only greatly admires the original story, but also abhors the cinema of today, which makes Nosferatu an ode to folklore, vampire cinema and gothic horror.
Antes de ir a ver la nueva Nosferatu quise ver su versión original, la de 1922, y la verdad es que pensando bien todo el contexto de la película, es comprensible como se volvió un icono tan importante en la historia del cine. Una película que tiene más de 100 años y se ve así es sin duda una obra maestra, pero, la verdad, como los tiempos han cambiado, a pesar de verla con admiración, no pude disfrutarla bien. Sin embargo, traer ese relato de nuevo a la vida es algo que Roberth Eggers hace a la perfección, porque se nota que no solo admira mucho la historia original, sino que además aborrece mucho el cine de ahora, lo que hace que Nosferatu sea una oda al folclore, al cine de vampiros y al terror gótico.
The fact that Roberth Eggers abhors both modern day vampires and modern day cinema is no accident in making Nosferatu. This film has been one of Roberth Eggers' dreams for quite some time, and you can tell he understood the story from beginning to end. For those who don't know what Nosferatu is about, it is basically the story of Dracula with one or two differences due to copyright issues, and along with that we also add some customs and rituals that were common given the time and beliefs.
El hecho de que Roberth Eggers aborrezca tanto a los vampiros de hoy en día como al cine de hoy en día no es una casualidad para hacer Nosferatu. Esta película ha sido uno de los sueños de Roberth Eggers por un buen tiempo, y se nota que comprendió la historia de principio a fin. Quien no sepa de qué va Nosferatu, es básicamente la historia de Dracula con una que otra diferencia debido a los derechos de autor, y junto a eso también se le añaden algunas costumbres y rituales que eran comunes dada la época y las creencias.
But what did I think of the movie? The truth is that I loved the movie, and I can't think of a better first day of the year, or at least, a movie that I would have liked to see more this January 1st. What Lily Rose Depp does with her body and features is something I don't recall ever seeing in an actress, which is amazing not only because of the actress' superb work, but because of the fact that the entire cast is on par with that performance. While the direction is perfect in telling a folkloric and gothic tale, everything comes together like a Swiss watch to create an experience as close to a tale from hundreds of centuries ago as possible, with the rawness that today's cinema allows.
Pero, ¿qué pienso yo de la película? La verdad la película me encantó, y no puedo pensar en algún mejor primer día del año, o por lo menos, alguna película que me hubiese gustado más ver este primero de enero. Lo que hace Lily Rose Depp con su cuerpo y con sus facciones es algo que no recuerdo haber visto nunca en una actriz, lo que es sorprendente no solo por el trabajo magnifico de la actriz, sino por el hecho de que todo el elenco está a la altura de esa interpretación. Mientras que la dirección es perfecta para contar un relato folclórico y gotico, todo se une como reloj suizo para crear una experiencia lo más parecido a un relato de hace cientos de siglos, con la crudeza que te permite el cine de hoy en día.

Movie from 1922?
Wow! That's way baaaaaaack!
I love how movie producers go about beautifying stories from the old days.
This one sounds good. Well-done
Yes, more than 100 years. It's a very good movie, I recommend it.
I have to see this, I didn't know this film was on the billboard and of course it catches my attention since I saw it and heard when SpongeBob mentioned it in one of his episodes hahaha, the expressions of the actress are striking, I want to see the way she acts and it's just when I'm watching films of yesteryear, pleasantly MAX has surprised me with classic works, I have to check if it has this version of yesteryear that you also saw, in my case I would not see it because I would prefer to see this one first to see how much it impacts me without references and then if I would dare to see the old one to make the comparison.
The current Vampire Cinema has its elements to criticize but also much to highlight, I do not see everything wrong or to abhor, for example interview with the vampire for me is powerful and would enter into the current cinema that places the vampires very delicate but well in the world there is everything haha
The relevant thing is to know the vision of this director for the vampires that in my case goes more to my way of being, I like more the terror and that are not so romantic, bright and delicate haha
Jajaja el mismo director dijo que Bob esponja ayudó mucho a la taquilla de la película. Yo disfrute mucho ver primero la original y después la más reciente, pero comprendo lo que dices.
El cine de vampiros actual es interesante, pero a lo que me refiero en el post es que el director aborrece el cine actual en general, con exceso de efectos especiales y pantalla verde.
Espero te guste mucho la película.
