Watched it at Avant Premiere in Athens for free through a giveaway
I was interested in watching this because I had heard it's a body horror and I saw behind the scenes footage with cast members claiming that that the creature design is some of the most terrifying they've ever seen, and because I like the director. Proud to say, I was disappointed by both. The Wolf Man design barely has any resemblance to a wolf, and looks closer to…
Rip David Lynch, you were a weirdo, but weirdo by choice, and I loved you for that. I hated this film though. I spent 3 hours in something which was actually just edgy clips stitched together with no meaning, while David was just experiment with his actor friends, no budget, and a digital camera. The first hour kinda makes sense and has a potential story, but then it just loses any kind of cohesion and story. I hated myself. But hey, it's still a better experience than Megalopolis. I will leave it at that!
Each shot perfectly calculated to look like a painting, each costume and hair-style measured up to fit accordingly to the characters, every music cue picked carefully to tense the atmosphere, every actor giving quite possibly the performance of a lifetime (except maybe Dafoe) and direction that is so flawlessly raw and cinematic, that truly feels like Robert Eggers is a gift to the filmmaking community. I gasped and goosebumped during this movie, and it really got me thinking that life is too short to be spend on bad movies, because "Nosferatu" is in each and every word, absolute cinema.
-I genuinely think Ingmar Bergman would love Barbie, probably would be one of his favorites
-Am I the only one that thinks Ken looks like a prettier Popeye with blonde hair?
-The musical scenes and the dancing choreography are some of the best and most energetic I have seen in a while, and holy shit this movie could have been straight up a musical and RULE even more
-I also really feel that this is as perfect as kids movies…
