Nosferatu 1922
In the age of social media, video games, and big budget films- Nosferatu forces you to slow down and be despaired (which I eventually understood to be a compliment). At first, I struggled to get through this. My brain was threatening to reset back to default mode. It was almost an act of meditation to remain patient and focused throughout the runtime.

A unique take on a genre that has become so played out in recent years. Who knew there would be more to say, more to show, and more ways to make us feel for these characters in apocalyptic stories.

Instead we are trusted to catch the little details on our own. Incredible performances that were highlighted more often during the quiet moments rather than the intense ones.
