Robert Eggers' attempt at remaking Nosferatu is notable since it boldly engages with German Expressionist cinema, a genre rarely revisited due to its historical specificities.
The difficulty of contextualizing interwar Germany's freak for a contemporary audience explains why films from this era rarely receive remakes, even given their classic status.
German Expressionist cinema emerged in response to the despair of post-World War I Germany, exploring deep themes through esoteric and symbolic visual storytelling.
Filmmakers like Wiene, Murnau, and Lang created narratives fixated on psychological states and dark themes, using distorted visuals and dream sequences to convey their messages.
