Nosferatu
So many rats.
I’m learning that the amount I like a film has very little to do with the amount I have to say about it. I liked this a lot, and I should be talking about the style and performances to show that I liked it, but for some reason all I’ve got is “So many rats.” Don’t let that stop you from seeing it.
Cries & Whispers
This is one a series of films at Alamo Drafthouse that Dave Eggers says influenced his creation of Nosferatu. I can see a lot of it in the long takes and tense silences, but this is a much “artier” film. Mostly realistic, and much less direct in its storytelling. It probably would have been more effective for me if it wasn’t the second half of a double feature.
Very red.

Here’s the graphic I made for Cries & Whispers I made but didn’t use for the featured image:
