Kapanlagi.com - Lily-Rose Depp is currently entertaining fans through her role in NOSFERATU.

In this film, which is a remake of the legendary 1922 work, Lily-Rose plays the character Ellen Hutter, a young woman trapped in an obsessive relationship with a terrifying vampire.

This is certainly not the first time Lily-Rose has taken on a role in a horror film. However, this time, she feels there is something very personal and profound in the filmmaking process.

In an interview with Natalie Portman for Interview Magazine, Lily-Rose revealed how her obsession with Dracula has been present since she was a child! It can be said that this role is not just an ordinary film project for Lily-Rose, but a form of personal journey in exploring an old obsession that has now come to life in NOSFERATU!

More than just an ordinary horror film, Lily-Rose sees NOSFERATU as a crazy love story, filled with dynamics that are far more complex than just vampires and humans. Curious about how Lily-Rose describes love in this dark world? Check out the complete explanation below!

Lily-Rose Depp admitted in her interview with Interview Magazine that one of the reasons she was drawn to this role is because of the crazy love story between the characters Ellen Hutter and Count Orlok. For her, this film is more than just a tale about vampires and humans.

She described this film as having a different vibe because it can be seen as a story about a young woman caught between two choices, namely a good man and a dangerous man.

"I love crazy love stories," Lily-Rose expressed very enthusiastically.

Although this film is wrapped in supernatural elements and evil forces, at its core, the story is about the tension between two opposing forces.

If KLovers were to remove the elements of demons and vampires from this story, according to Lily-Rose, we would still see the tale of a girl who has to choose between two men, each with strong good and bad sides.

Furthermore, Lily-Rose feels that the concept of obsessive love not only stirs emotions but also gives the audience space to reflect on how love can change everything, even becoming something that can be very frightening. No wonder KLovers, this is one of the main reasons why NOSFERATU feels very personal and touches her heart.

2. Challenges in Playing 'NOSFERATU'

In this film, Lily-Rose plays the character Ellen Hutter, who is trapped in a terrifying obsession with the vampire Count Orlok.

Speaking about the challenges, Lily-Rose mentioned that one of the most difficult parts of the filmmaking process was working with Bill Skarsgård, who plays Count Orlok.

How could it not be difficult? Bill is already known for his role as Pennywise in IT. No wonder her co-star must have been scared right away!

"There are very scary moments," she recalled.

During filming, Lily-Rose had to face a rather intense atmosphere, which often made her feel as if she were in another world.

But besides the psychological challenges, Lily-Rose also had to face physical challenges. One of them was the excessive use of fake blood that tested her physical endurance.

She revealed that there were certain scenes that required her body to be covered in fake blood, and because of the very high camera accuracy, she had to sit in a certain position for a long time.

3. The Techniques of Capturing Images and Visuals in Film That Are Gripping

One of the most interesting aspects of NOSFERATU is the way this film is shot using a very precise visual approach. Lily-Rose explains how each shot is done with great care, creating a very haunting atmosphere for the audience.

The importance of meticulousness in shooting makes the actors often feel like they are in a very deep atmosphere, to the point where they sometimes feel as if they are trapped in an isolated loop of time.

"When we're there, we can feel like we're in a different world, as if trapped in this strange atmosphere with these characters," said Lily-Rose, describing how technical the filmmaking process is. This greatly distinguishes NOSFERATU from other mainstream horror films.

All elements from costumes to visual arrangements are combined to create a viewing experience that is not only frightening but also captivating, making the audience feel as if they are also trapped in a dark and mysterious horror world!

With a story of obsessive love and extraordinary filmmaking techniques, NOSFERATU is set to greet KLovers in theaters on December 25, so don’t miss it! If Not Now, When Else?
