Bram Stoker's Dracula


Sadie Frost as Lucy


Description:

With the exception of one backlot shot, director Francis Ford Coppola and photographer Michael Ballhaus made their film on elaborate sets where they had full control of the frame. In almost every shot, something's going on beyond the simple narrative flow. On Coppola's densely layered, crowded screen, the background may contain an unusual twist to the action, or an odd arrangement of shapes. The simple act of stepping over a threshold may seem strange and hesitant because the action has been filmed backward, then run forward through the projector. The familiar plot is presented as a romantic love story taken to an operatic extreme. Gary Oldman is perhaps the most Byronic Dracula ever brought to the screen. Despite all the changes in makeup--many of them hideous and grotesque--he's handsome, exotic, dark, larger than life. Closely based on Bram Stoker's classic novel, the story starts as a young lawyer (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.
