I was going to criticize the gay blue-gray medieval filter but it looks like he's actually doing something interesting with it, contrasting everything with fire and the elements.

the intense particle saturation also gives a feeling of disease, and the dulled colors make it seem like a grim fairytale. it definitely sets the mood

Typical Eggers movie. So much telling instead of showing. Sound mixing totally fucked and oversaturated. Oddly enough he has the exact same issues as Nolan in his filmmaking. I wish he would stop giving ATJ and Johnny Depps disgusting daughter acting jobs because they are fucking terrible. Overuse of accents to mask lack of talent. Dafoe is as usual the biggest draw because Egger is a hack and needs the greatest living actor to bail him out. It will likely not make its money back because studios think Christmas release date will make people go see it but people want to see feel good movies at the holidays, not grim dark low fantasy. There has never been a profitable werewolf film.

Mark my gay words, anon, 40% of the runtime will have a narrator introducing the scene or the next plot point because Egg can’t mix music over dialogue. Heavy doors slamming shut will be a prominent sound board plug throughout. They should just rename the movie Robert Eggers Loud Noises with Images of dead wolf dogs.

Your points are well taken but for some reason this millennial ahh freakahhzoid wants to do every movie this way and is on some personal quest to do the realistic version of every monster movie.

actually to our modern ears it would have sounded closer to welsh, because it was during the great vowel transition.
the dialogue in the trailer doesn't sound anything like either German or Middle English so this is just more bullshit to try to convince midwits that this is elevated horror.

No, the german spelling is "Werwolf". "Werwulf" is the Old English spelling. But obviously they are similar because the languages are related.

Not a single good looking shot

But really, there is no point squabbling over how to spell words of the medieval period. These old germanic languages were mostly spoken, not written (latin was written), and there wasn't really an agreed upon spelling for every word. Spelling was treated much more subjectively back then.

What's the point of the shitty grain effect? That sort of effect makes me think of the VHS era, not the 14th century. I guess if the whole movie was filmed like an 90s interpretation of the 14th century I'd get the point, but everything else looks modern, so it just sticks out awkwardly. But I'm a /tv/ retard so what do I know

>>223422928
I'm really torn here. On one hand, I've enjoyed all of his previous films, and the conceit is fine. But it does bug me how muddy and depressing he's making probably the worst era of the middle ages to make depressing. The aesthetics scream "black plague", but it's set during the High Middle Ages because that's when the last wolves of England were being killed off. Problem is that the 1200s were a pretty good time for England all things considered. It's precisely because things were good that they had the time and energy to expand and wipe out the wolves. So for a director as autistic about history, to the point of having them speak middle English, it irks me that it's falling back on very tired misconceptions about the Middle Ages for the sake of atmosphere.

Comic relief and other ironic bullshit is purely a way for insecure people to protect themselves when they feel that their work might not inspire the feelings they were hoping for in the audience. E.g. supposedly a supposedly dramatic moment broken up by a quip because the director was afraid it didn't land and broccoliheads in the audience were thinking "cringe"

None, roll your own. It's going to be similar to something else anyway, there's little to no room left for a fully original design.

It would also stop the audiences from going into the movie knowing exactly what monster to expect.
