Robert Eggers on WERWULF historical details
por Anjali Filmi: Robert Eggers
Robert Eggers says that detailed historical accuracy in ‘WERWULF’ was important in making an immersive experience for audiences. “You guys don't know that Willem's character has the correct amount of buttons… but you might notice he's the only person who has buttons cause he's the only person who can afford them.”

I'm super lucky to be able to work with historians now, like my top pick of people, you know, they want to work on these films. So, yeah, so building this world from the ground. Like, you know, none of these structures exist anymore. Even the churches from the period have been modified over the years, so we have to build everything. But it's all in the purpose of making the most visceral, transporative experience for the audience. Obviously, you guys don't know that Willem Dafoe's character has the correct amount of buttons for that period on his cuffs. But you might notice that he's the only person in the movie who has buttons. Because he's the only person who can afford buttons. He's the only person in the movie who wears a piece of jewelry. And those kinds of details that maybe do go notice mixed with all the things, all the other details that don't, that are not noticed, that are like subconscious that, you know, bring the world to life in theory.
