The Craft Of ‘Nosferatu’: How The Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Costume Design And Score Brought “Originality And Darkness”

If there is one guarantee of seeing a Robert Eggers film, it’s that the artistic vision will stick with you long after you leave the theater.

Nosferatu is no different, from the haunting soundtrack to the visually stunning yet chilling production design. It’s no surprise that Eggers continues to work with the same craft department heads for each of his films, as every collaboration seems to bring a better understanding of each other’s craft to enhance the workflow between departments.

Deadline spoke with five key craftspeople – cinematographer Jarin Blaschke, production designer Craig Lathrop, editor Louise Ford, costume designer Linda Muir and composer Robin Carolan – to discuss how they brought his dream project to life.

To say Nosferatu is Eggers’ dream project is not an overstatement, according to editor Louise Ford who has worked with Eggers on every one of his feature films. “I’m sure everyone knows the story by now that the idea of making Nosferatu was the thing that actually made Rob into a film director,” she says. “This one goes further back than all the rest,” says production designer Craig Lathrop.
