Nosferatu ox33 2024 - ★★★★

Wed, 1 Jan 2025 06:17:17 +1300

The heavy breathing nearly ever present in the audio landscape of Nosferatu settles over the film like a fog over the senses. The curse of Nosferatu takes hold as soon as the opening scene begins and Ellen’s dance with shame and her sexuality begins to unfold for the viewers. Regret, shame, and repression manifest in the climbing shadows on the walls, haunting the life Ellen has conjured for herself. Corsets, chloroform, and restrained limbs try to subdue an already unmoored Ellen, whose only solace from the onslaught of terror comes from her husband, Thomas, and the shield their marriage union brings her. The fear and fascination with the erotic creeps from her subconscious and gradually materializes from the fog and becomes realized as the monstrous, vampiric Count Orlock.

In this retreading of the story of Nosferatu, Robert Eggers introduces new depth and care to Ellen, with the assistance of Lily Rose Depp, who doesn’t shy away from the acrobatic possession of both mind and body. The scenes depicting her contorting fits of terror and meetings in shadowy dreams with the Count created such a strong sense of unease and discomfort it felt as if the frame of the theater screen was arresting the viewer as another unwilling, yet twistedly curious, captive in the macabre performance from the Count. The dueling fantasies of unadulterated lust and love clash in the meeting of Orlock and Thomas.

The ideal of partnership of the times, represented through Friedrich and Anna, emphasize class stature, etiquette, and the display of success of their marriage through fertility and offspring. In contrast, Ellen and Thomas are childless and Thomas’ absence is driven by the notion of securing greater financial stability. Class division and striving for upwards mobility creates the physical division of their marriage which becomes a catalyst for increasingly vivid hauntings that eventually come to fully possess her body. Carnal, all consuming desire cannot meaningfully coexist within the trappings of their marriage within polite society.
