LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (RECENT - DECEMBER 4, 2024) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTORS, NICHOLAS HOULT AND LILY-ROSE DEPP, SAYING: DEPP "Yeah, so I had a movement coach [Marie-Gabrielle Rotie] She was massively helpful. She's wonderfully talented and really helped me to kind of like choreograph those movements, but also find an intention for all of them. And, you know, it's, those moments are really just like a, a physical kind of external manifestation of what's happening on the inside. And so she really helped me to root every moment in an emotion that felt very true to what the character is going through and, you know, that those moments are part of the storytelling as much as anything."
Nosferatu, Press Conference with Director Robert Eggers & Actors Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe

Q: Can you talk about that decision of using only practical special effects and no CGI?
Robert Eggers: The physical performance is where you see that internal war. You see her literally at a breaking point. There are drawings of hysterical poses in the 19th century, psychiatrists who studied hysteria had an illustrator make engravings of every hysterical attitude. We used those poses to structure Lily-Rose physical performance. I always wanted to seem like something that could be done because once it comes over the top, then you know that there’s effects involved, and then it’s not as scary. So it was very important to me that Lily’s physical performance.
Lily-Rose We worked on a lot with Marie-Gabrielle Rotie, our Movement coach, who is amazing. Nobody wanted a physical performance that looks beautiful on camera but is very choreographed. The way we were shooting was quite technical, it’s very much like a dance with the camera and the set and your co-stars. We wanted every single moment to be infused with a real intention, coming from a real place that was emotionally grounded. We rehearsed with the corset because that changes all of your movement and your breathing completely. I found it really helpful because it helps you to get in the zone of what that person would be feeling or thinking. There’s something very emotional that comes with that movement, your body doing things that it’s not used to.

'Nosferatu star Willem Dafoe lauds 'athleticism' of working with Robert Eggers' RTE, 29th December 2024.
The 25-year-old Lily-Rose Depp has a star-making turn in Nosferatu. Scenes in which a demon possesses Ellen are particularly mind-blowing; as Depp contorts her body in a way that defies comprehension.
Eggers said it was "inspiring" to witness her performance.
"That body work is very difficult and I often do a whole lot of takes, but at times I knew there was only a certain amount of takes I could get because it's so physically exhausting to do what she did," he explained.
"It was marvellous to watch her work with the choreographer Marie-Gabrielle Rotie and get better and better and better and better at this stuff. It's probably in the press notes, but I just want to point out that it's not [CGI] enhanced and that is really her."
