Nosferatu is the best film of 2024 for Sébastien Vaniček
“It’s my slap of the year”… The director of Vermin loved Nosferatu from the director of The Witch.
This is the curse of genre cinema. As soon as you make a success, journalists love to use you as a barometer and ask your opinion on other genre films. Let’s take Sébastien Vaniček : the director of the sensational Verminreleased a year ago, was present last week at the Les Arcs European Film Festival (which ended with the victory of KneecapIrish rap film) as a member of the short film jury. It was therefore the opportunity to talk about cinema with him, and to discover that his favorite film of 2024 is therefore the Nosferatu of Robert Eggerswhich has just been released in French cinemas.
“Thanks to Vermines, I have the chance to be invited to private workshops. For example, there was that of Nosferatu…And it’s MY slap of the year. This project will stay engraved in me, that’s for sure.”enthused Vaniček at the microphone of Première. “The poetry, the darkness, the pain, the love, it’s beautiful, and at the same time it’s cruel and terrifying. It speaks to themes that touch me very precisely at the moment. There are extraordinary shots, and the ending music is crazy… Eggers is so good. He knows exactly what to do with his camera.
At Première, we were less seduced than him by this new Nosferatu (our review is here), but we completely understand why Vaniček fell crazy for the film. And you ?
