Robert Eggers' 2006 German expressionist horror short, "Hansel & Gretel," was recently released for fans to dive into. Now, Eggers' other short, "The Tell-Tale Heart," which is a 21-minute reinterpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's eponymous, anxiety-ridden short story, is now available for viewing, exclusively on IndieWire.
While Eggers follows a title card approach similar to "Hansel & Gretel," the Poe adaptation offers greater room for interpretation and reading between the lines, allowing Eggers to better express his directorial vision. And he does, as Eggers' "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a tense, visual portrait that highlights the best parts of Poe's...

Robert Eggers is such a dominant force in the indie film world that it’s easy to forget “The Northman” is only his third movie. Eggers made his feature debut with 2015’s “The Witch,” but he started directing films seven years earlier when he adapted Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” as a short in 2008.
The film helped Eggers develop the period horror aesthetic that he perfected in “The Witch,” and established his relationships with several key collaborators. Now, cinephiles can watch the short film for the first time, as Eggers has chosen to show the film exclusively on IndieWire.
“I am pleased to share ‘The Tell-Tale Heart.’ It is an uneven film, but my first film that I was proud of making,” Eggers wrote in a statement. “It is also my first collaboration with my Dp Jarin Blaschke and editor Lousie Ford, and we have worked together ever since,...

Director Robert Eggers and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke began their collaboration with the 2008 short “The Tell-Tale Heart.” In the 13 years since, they’ve developed a methodology that yielded the visually striking likes of “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse” — but as impressive as those features were, they were a mere prelude to the duo’s latest achievement.
Shot on 35mm on an 87-day schedule, “The Northman” is a jaw-droppingly ambitious Viking epic, filled with precise detail, extravagant action, and mythic grandeur. The film is as clear as it is complex thanks to the purity of expression that Eggers and Blaschke have been working toward since that now-far-off Edgar Allan Poe adaptation.
“Over the course of our time together I’ve tried to simplify the visual experience so that things are presented in the most direct way,” Blaschke told IndieWire. “We’ve been working toward distilling things to their essence, working with blocking...
