‘Nosferatu’ Composer on Using 60 String Players to Create a Disorienting, ‘F—ed Up’ Score


'Nosferatu' composer Robin Carolan discusses using 60 string players and a Romanian toaca to create a "disorienting, fucked up" score.

Eggers reimagines F. W. Murnau’s 1922 silent German Expressionist film, with Lily-Rose Depp starring as Ellen, a young woman who becomes the object of desire for the terrifying vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). The supporting cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe. Even though the character is the villain of the film, Eggers and Caroloan wanted to try to humanize him at times so his motifs are “big, blustery and thunderous, but at certain points takes a turn into the melancholy.”
