Rated
R (for sexuality and horror violence)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Richard E. Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman
Vampire Weekends
Love Never Dies.
Francis Ford Coppola's take on Bram Stoker's Dracula novel claims to be the most novel-accurate version ever put on screen, but we know this to be untrue. It is, however, a fascinating interpretation with visually striking set pieces and costumes designed by Eiko Ishioka that veers heavily, to the point of getting lost in amazing ways, into the Vlad the Impaler vein of Dracula lore, which developed as scholars speculated about the novel over the decades.
It features a stellar cast lead by Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder, and Keanu Reeves. It is a rich, romantic romp through love, lust, and eternity.
