DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN'S DIARY
"Guy
Maddin is Canada's poet laureate of cinematic weirdness." "Sexy,
brainy and slightly nuts." "Guy
Maddin succeeds brilliantly... May be the most faithful screen version "There¹s
bound to be a moistening of flesh in the audience." "[Maddin
is] wildly iconoclastic and criminally neglected." "A
drama of seething eros, sexual infection." "A
piece of kick-ass movie choreography." "Wowzer." "A
doozy of a sexy, artsy alternative.” "A
genre-bending extravaganza." "Its
characters may be undead, but the "A
new-media Nosferatu ... a goth's "A
succulent treat." |
REVIEWS
FROM THE NEW YORK OPENING ”Four
stars. Audaciously sensual. It may be that the only authentic genius
under 50 currently making film is Canada’s Guy Maddin. That
is, if originality is a precondition of genius. The film takes a hysterical
tale ”One
of the most aesthetic versions of Bram Stoker’s masterpiece!
Shot entirely in black & white (except for the blood). Done with
elegance and grace!” ”A
dizzying cinematic take (A) phantasmagoric movie! Wildly and erotically
exotic. Victorian sexuality and melodrama are brought together in
a shadowy ”May
be the finest film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel yet made.
It’s hard to imagine how this lush, gorgeously expressionistic
fantasia could possibly be improved.” |
|
”An
imagination unloosed! DRACULA is a demented movie -- delightfully
so. So thick with sensations, ideas, motifs and themes that it feels
as dense as a Pynchon novel. Bracing, sensual and very funny!” ”One
of the most original, audacious and hilarious takes on vampirism ever
committed to celluloid.” ”Hallucinatory
and exquisitely beautiful, with wonderful, offbeat touches and black
humor. A moviegoer’s feast and another dazzling delight from
this crackpot genius.” ”The
director¹s gift for reverent pastiches is unparalleled. (A) gem!” ”Both
rapturously beautiful and ecstatically odd! A radiant, flaked-out
hybrid of disparate art forms that shocks, then seduces, then wows.
So many scenes are indelible! Full of unexpected poetry.” |

Burned into the public's memory over the past century, the name Dracula evokes dread and horror but above all fascination. Guy Maddin's DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN'S DIARY combines avant-garde silent cinema and stunning choreography in this extravagant retelling of Bram Stoker's original tale. The latest Dracula incarnation is an immigrant from Asia, newly arrived in London in his search for fresh blood. The film begins with the panicked warning of "immigrants from the East" and proceeds through a darkly humorous exploration of dread and desire, repressed sexuality and male jealousy. Based on Mark
Godden's acclaimed Royal Winnipeg Ballet production, DRACULA is shot
in dramatic black & white, with splashes of bold red, and set
to the epic music of Gustav Mahler. Sink your teeth into the new DRACULA. |
