Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu: Forever in the Shadow of F. W. Murnau and Werner Herzog's Nosferatwos #142

Hello, Hello, Hello,This is the second part of the discussion we had on Robert Eggers! Here, Dhruv – joined by the brain-melting and blood-sucking vampire, Varun, and his “spirited animal” friend, Hemant – tries to talk about Eggers’ latest horror film, “Nosferatu,” in relation to F. W. Murnau’s 1922 German Expressionist classic, and Werner Herzog’s existentially despairing 1979 remake of it. But little does he know the digressions this deadly duo has in store for him…Listen to the full episode to hear him respond to the absurdity of Varun referencing Zoya Akhtar’s “Dil Dhadakne Do” when talking about Murnau’s classic, or, worse still, the Sridevi-and-Anil-Kapoor-starrer “Judaai” when he’s talking about the Eggers’ version. There’s plenty of discussion about how these films, despite tackling the same story, have such drastically different treatments. But that’s if you can look past those comparisons…Best of luck to all!TIMECODESIntroduction (+ Nonsense) - [00:00 – 07:42]The Convoluted Legacy of “Nosferatu” - [07:42 – 26:01]Murnau’s “Nosferatu” (+ Nonsense) - [26:01 – 01:00:40]Herzog’s “Nosferatu, the Vampyre” - [01:00:40 – 01:23:58]Eggers’ “Nosferatu" (+ Nonsense) - [01:23:58 – 01:56:40]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page:⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast⁠Follow us on Instagram at:Hemant: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/hemantganti/Dhruv: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/terminalcinema/⁠⁠Varun: https://www.instagram.com/varunonfilm/Follow us on Letterboxd at:Varun: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/Dhruv: ⁠⁠https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/⁠⁠Hemant: https://letterboxd.com/ganti117/Audio Excerpts are taken from the promotional material for Nosferatu (1922), Nosferatu (1979), Nosferatu (2024), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1981), and Grizzly Man (2005).
