Ha, as I replied to Olav below, that’s the same sort of reason I’m not very interested in the upcoming Eggers remake - because I love this one so much. Be sure to watch the German version (it was also filmed in English concurrently), enjoy!
Probably one of most touching, romantic and sad version of the story ever made. Unbelievable how Herzog has always been able to get from Kinski exactly what he wanted. Actually, it's one of the several reasons I love that guy so much.
Bro uploads when I'm sleeping, how inconsiderate. Jk lol. This scene is very unsettling and tense, I like this type of horror much more than cheap jumpscares or gore.
It only occurred to me that I had this in the archives at two minutes to midnight ^^ I agree, I'm not a fan of horror that doesn't work for the most part through atmosphere. Outright scaring you isn't the point of this film, it's quite understated.
@@Vingul It's actually quite skillfully done. It's uncomfortable and creepy without making me cringe. I get second hand embarrassment quite easily when I watch movies or w/e. So the fact that this fairly awkward interaction didn't make me want to jump off a cliff and immersed me instead is testament to the phenomenal acting.
@@nord_anon4406 Haha, yes, that is saying something then. It has always amused me as a comically awkward "dinner scene" (considering that as a tv/film trope) -- I mean, imagine having to dine with Dracula, lool -- but that's a good point, it's easy to take seriously on its own terms as well.
Ah, I didn't know there's a trailer. Not very interested tbh, just because I love this one, heh. Actually haven't seen any of his films, although The Witch and The Lighthouse seem good. The Northman, eeh not so much.. though I know many liked it.
@@Vingul Indeed. There are two, actually. I'm definitively a fan of Egers and his work. The Lighthouse is his most "artfilmy" production and absolutely worth a watch. The Witch is simply an overall good horror movie. The Northman has a pretty segregated audience. There is a prolish and nebulous attraction to The Northman among the spiritual polacks and pseudo-Nietzscheans of the world, the same chaf who made an identity out of the Vikings TV show. At the same time, there are souls who can appreciate the artist's attempt at giving new life to the Ghost of the Saga-litterature and the aesthetics of hyper-violence.
@@OlavEngelbrektson Yes, I've seen more earnest and less faux-vikingy people praise The Northman, so I take them seriously, but when I had a closer look it just didn't seem like it was for me, I wasn't convinced by the theatricality. But then I have a deep-seated aversion to "viking" films and television in general. It never matches my own conceptions. I guess it's just too close to home.

Wasn't gonna do anything for Halloween but just remembered I uploaded this well over a year ago but never published it hehe
Very cool 👍 Thanks and Happy Halloween! 🎃
Wow, I must certainly give this a watch. Until now, I was never interested because of my love for the original.
Thanks for the share!

@@nord_anon4406 another good point ^^
I'm not sure what I will make of Robert Eggers version in the end. Yet to come out, of course, but that trailer kind of has me worried.
