Episode 231Dolby Creator Talks

Jarin Blaschke, Robert Eggers, and the Cinematography of Nosferatu

January 28, 2025
Listen to the episode

We are joined by Director of Photography and first-time Academy Award® nominee Jarin Blaschke, as well as Director Robert Eggers, to discuss the stunning cinematography of “Nosferatu.” Together, the frequent collaborators delivered a gothic masterpiece, blending German romanticism and chilling horror into stunning, painterly visuals. In this conversation, Eggers and Blaschke discuss the meticulous development of the film’s look, the challenges of shooting with practical lighting, and their shared love for highly composed one-take shots. From the fog-drenched crossroads to the eerie interiors of Orlok's castle, the pair reveal the painstaking care and simple, practical ingenuity that brought this cinematic fever dream to life.

I’m just trying to curate life… What kind of optics just feel right? The little flare around the windows. What is the lens that just feels nice? Let’s just look at a bunch of those. Let’s have lenses made. We’re very privileged in that we can do that now and see what that looks like.
