I liked this a fair amount when I saw it a few years ago also, but having watched the 1947 original now, the GDT remake suddenly feels like a pretty unimpressive project. To the best of my recollection, he didn’t innovate or meaningfully improve upon anything; he basically just put his own cinematography on something that had already been done really well.
It’s now going to occupy a similar space in my mind to 2024 Nosferatu, which also stared down a pristine predecessor and said, “Fuck it, I’m gonna do the exact same thing with 2020s visuals.”
