    Storyline

    Edit
    This version of Dracula is closely based on Bram Stoker's classic novel. Young barrister Jonathan Harker is assigned to a gloomy village in the mists of eastern Europe. He is captured and imprisoned by the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London, inspired by a photograph of Harker's betrothed, Mina Murray. In Britain, Dracula begins a reign of seduction and terror, draining the life from Mina's closest friend, Lucy Westenra. Lucy's friends gather together to try to drive Dracula away. —Goth <brooks@odie.ee.wits.ac.za>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Producer and director Francis Ford Coppola explains on the DVD commentary that Mina and Harker's wedding was a re-shoot done at a Los Angeles Greek Orthodox church. They filmed the entire ceremony with a genuine Romanian Orthodox minister, and realized afterwards that Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves may have really been married to each other. Reeves has since confessed that he often gets text messages from Ryder that read "Hello, husband", and that they are both completely fine with it.
    • Goofs
      The language spoken in the beginning is not medieval Romanian - it is modern Romanian imitating medieval English syntax.
    • Quotes

      Dracula: I have crossed oceans of time to find you.

    • Alternate versions
      British video version contains a scene where Jonathan Harker's nipple is licked by one of the female vampires, who then bites it and causes it to bleed.

    One of Coppola's Best
    Though I did not read the book and can't compare it to the movie, I found Bram Stoker's Dracula quiet excellent. The costume design, lighting, camera work, make-up-fx are all very good and make for a very atmospheric movie.

    There are some truly outstanding things in this film.

    1, the editing... excellent, I love the way they worked with dissolves, the hypnotic feel they created with the careful editing. Every frame flows in the other, the whole style grabs you and never lets you go... I simply could not turn my eyes off the screen.

    2, the acting... Gary Oldman is THE Dracula, IMO. Seductive, strong, bad and scary in his own distinctive way, yet really romantic.

    Hopkins is funny as Van Helsing and quiet ironic.

    Winona is a great Mina. Beautiful, innocent. She looks great in these Victorian costumes.

    Keanu Reeves is not as bad as many of you think. He makes the best of his underwritten character.

    3, the Score... haunting, romantic, scary. It works beautiful with the pictures.

    I think this movie is a great cinematic achievement and very underrated. It's a shame they don't make movies like that any more.

    10/10
