The Melodrama of Robert Eggers
Briefly

Robert Eggers began his cinematic journey rooted in a blend of horror and fantasy, disrupting genre norms while establishing his unique voice in modern filmmaking.
With 'The Witch,' Eggers crafted a film that may not fit traditional horror but captivates audiences through its ambiguous menace and deep psychological themes, earning tenfold its budget.
Eggers' films often defy genre classification, featuring complex characters and narratives that provoke discussion rather than straightforward scares. This approach distinguishes him among contemporary filmmakers.
