  A classic introvert with good taste and laser precision on his craft. Absorb everything you can in his presence.

  Holy shit. An interview about film with actual useful information and not just calling everything they do "phenomenal" or "amazing." Seriously great interview. Others need to take notice

  This is absolutely the best interview Rob Eggers has ever given. In no small part, to the incredible film critic, Anna Bogutskaya. The first time I heard her, was on a review she did of a movie I can't recall right now, alongside Mark Kermode. I have the Blu-ray for The VVitch, and she has the other commentary track after Rob's own. She is very knowledgably of the occult, and is very well articulated as such, so her track is a treat. Here, she is picking Rob's brain so well, and for me, it has told me so much more about him and his process, than I ever read or heard in the last 10 years combined.

  I've watched several interviews with Robert about Nosferatu so far but I have never seen him laughing and joking that much. He gives off such a light-hearted impression here, thank you for demonstrating this side of him, he is so talented and adorable!

  I don't remember him being so amusing and joker before. Good to see him growing confidence and being more comfortable not only in filmmaking but also in interviews and public press. Can't bloody wait to see Nosferatu!

  The more I see his movies and his interviews, the more I feel like he makes movies just for me; I connect greatly with his obsession and passion for the past.

  I love that he’s very passionate about historical accuracy and he loves history and folklore. It’s also cool that he comes from a theatre background

  As an archaeologist I love how committed he is to accuracy and I love how specialists talk him down from perfection. The Northman’s creative liberties add so much colour to the Viking world. If he ever wants to do some scary Neolithic conflict scary stuff based of Vrable, I would probably expire from joy.
