A guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival was American director Robert Eggers, the mastermind behind gothic folklore horror gems like The VVitch, The Lighthouse and Nosferatu.
Prior to the upcoming release of his new film, Werwulf, a werewolf horror film set in 14th-century England starring Nosferatu alum Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, the director sat down with the Lyon audience to discuss the dark and instantly recognisable worlds he has created on screen.
