Robert Eggers doesn’t miss man!
Eggers is now officially 3 for 3 and has definitely proven himself to be a high caliber director. Hopefully he nails the Nosferatu remake as well.
This is the role Alexander Skarsgård was born to play. He plays this role like he’s rage and vengeance incarnate. He not only dominates the screen physically but also delivers some great moments of sadness and anger.
I was happy to learn that even though there was apparently a lot…
This is definitely a Gaspar Noé film alright. Usually his films make you feel sick in some smart way though. The ending of this film feels like it's only construed to make you feel sick, nothing more to it, which is disappointing.
I do like the style of this film, but unfortunately it's very shallow and dare I even say that it comes off as pretentious.
One of the most underrated films of the past decade. A short but very entertaining film featuring some amazing fight scenes and a solid enough story. You can clearly tell this was made on a reasonably low budget but there are still some scenes that look amazing. The overall camerawork (especially in the fight scenes) is great and makes the whole thing way more engrossing. Would also like to shoutout Logan Marshall-Green who I’ve been a long time fan of but here I think he delivers his career-best performance.
Btw this would make a great double-feature with Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor.
