“I have crossed oceans of time to find you…”
Francis Ford Coppola‘s gorgeously goth, Oscar-winning adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s iconic novel stars Gary Oldman in the title role as a nocturnal immortal who leaves the captive Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) and Transylvania for London in search of Mina Harker — the spitting image of Dracula’s long-dead wife, Elisabeta (Winona Ryder). Obsessed vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) sets out to end the madness. Also starring Richard E. Grant, Cary Elwes, Billy Campbell, Tom Waits, Monica Bellucci.
“Overblown in the best sense of the word, Francis Ford Coppola‘s vision of Bram Stoker’s Dracula rescues the character from decades of campy interpretations — and features some terrific performances to boot.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
“This luscious film restores the creature’s nobility and gives him peace.” (TIME Magazine)
“It is Coppola’s most lavish and, certainly, his most flamboyant film; never before has he allowed himself this kind of mad experimentation.” (Washington Post)
