Yes! I liked the atmosphere and the language, felt like a telling of the orginal story… did jump a few times too!

I think for Lily Rose Depp it was a stand out part, I liked the way that attitudes of the time were built into the story and the dialogue , it added to the almost Dickensian feel (especially A Christmas Carol)

Utterly brilliant - the music obvs, superb cast (the best Bobster since Tilda Swinton and shout out to Edward Norton), great recreation of 60s Greenwich Village. Remember THIS IS NOT A BIOPIC. Just makes you feel so …kin. old, knew every word to every song.

Friends of saw it last week and were less than impressed, they’re huge Dylan’s fans as well.
I viewed a 70mm projected print of “The Brutalist” last night. It was shot in Vistavision, a format used in the analogue days mostly for shooting visual effects elements. Vistavision cameras run the negative thru the camera sideways like a still camera rather than vertically like an Arri or Panaflex camera. The few times I worked with Vistavision cameras they were not considered synch sound cameras (they didn’t run quiet enough to record sound). So I am guessing they did what Nolan does with Imax - they do a few takes where they do not run the camera so they get clean sound. Then do ADR (automatic dialogue replacement) with the filmed takes.

Going to watch it tonight
Nosferatu at the Everyman Stratford. Beautifully filmed by Robert Eggers. Lily Rose Depp is excellent. Period setting and attitudes are well conveyed. There are some jump scares, but not as frightening or uncanny as Murnau’s masterpiece or Werner Herzog’s remake. The Renfield character is gripping and darkly funny. 5000 rats apparently.

It is excellent and no bad language

I realised that Herr Knock was played by Simon McBurney a fine Shakespearean actor. I was only disappointed by Nosferatu himself who lacked the grace and seductive power of some Draculas. He was pure visual horror rather than devilish corruption.

A bit late replying! Saw The Zone of Interest with my other half in the Everyman in Bath last year. However, having read The Fiddle about a year before, the 2nd part of the book lent a chilling reality to the sounds from the camp- have to say I felt completely emotionally drained after watching it

I thought the Nosferatu character was well thought out, as he leeched he became better defined.
Ordered on Blu Ray

Sometime in late 2000 I saw ‘The Dish’ in the cinema. Next day I was an emergency admission to cardiac ICU.
Haven’t been to the cinema since 
It is interesting our different reactions. We enjoyed the film, but I have DVDs of Murnau and Herzog and won’t buy Eggers.

The Herzog film with all its rats.

@Ian2001 It opens the door to F W Murnau’s black and white silent original. Which is an artistic masterpiece, but the director called Nosferatu to avoid paying royalties to Stoker’s widow!
She won in court, so nearly all the prints of the film were destroyed. Besides rats Herzog has a lush Wagner soundtrack.
