Sony Pictures (1992) with stars Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves; Director: Francis Ford Coppola
1 disc; English, French, Spanish with subtitles.
This fresh, exuberant version of Stoker’s Dracula is a love story for hopeless romantics. It helps if you’ve read the book. Although the film tries to capture the book, the emphasis has been shifted from a horror tale to an impossible love story.
The film is tongue-in-cheek. Count Dracula can’t stop feeding off the living and Van Helsing can’t stop trying to do away with Dracula. Dracula’s love interest, Mina, is promised to another. For the women, there’s passion and longing. For the men there are high speed horseback chases and gore — the fangs have to come out at some point. There is something for everyone.
If you’ve read Bram Stoker’s Dracula, you’re aware of many concepts of vampires like they shun garlic and count seeds. Vampires have been known to turn into bats so they can hover outside a victim’s window. It was written that Count Dracula’s castle in Transylvania had no mirrors. The original concept was that vampires have no reflections but traditional folklore indicated that mirrors reveal the soul.
