If you somehow haven't seen Robert Eggers' tremendous Nosferatu yet I will try not to judge you (oh wait, too late) and simply direct you to the streaming service Peacock, where the film is now available to stream from the comfort of your reclusive bubble. Here is my review of the film, which technically landed at #4 on my favorite movies of 2024 list but ask me another day it could've been my number one. Having watched it at home and in the theater (repeatedly) now I can say with certainty that the movie really benefits from the theatrical experience -- for one it's a dark movie...
People who complained about NOSFERATU being "too dark" really never watched GAME OF THRONES did they

... although in a purposefully meted out way; this isn't sloppy darkness. It's painterly. But you need the screen to be large to really appreciate the detail of what's happening inside of Eggers' frames. But if it's to be at home you might be better off watching the 4K disc of the film as opposed to relying on the quality and strength of a streamer's transmission. But you do you! Just turn off all of the lights and let the mood envelope you. God I love this (sorta gay) movie.

The library has its order in for the DVD. I am on the wait list.
Oh god. I can't be the only person that found this kinda hot, am I?
Did you see the extended version at all.
Laramie -- you are definitely not, do not worry!
Anon - I realized yesterday that no, I still haven't watched the longer cut yet. I've got the 4K disc with it, next time I watch it I'll watch that cut. I believe it's only a few minutes of extra footage but who cares, more of this gorgeous world is welcome!
