128 mins |
Rated
R (for sexuality and horror violence)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Richard E. Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman
Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula has been adapted for the screen numerous times, but Francis Ford Coppola still managed to make his 1992 adaptation of the story incredibly unique. The overall aesthetic of the movie—its cinematography, set design, costume design, and makeup and hairstyling—make it the phenomenal film that it is, and is partially why the movie still holds up with age. Coppola's Dracula is indeed based on Stoker's classic vampire tale, but also includes romantic storylines.
The 1992 adaptation of Dracula stars Gary Oldman as Count Dracula and Vlad the Impaler, Winona Ryder as Mina Harker, Anthony Hopkins as Professor Abraham Van Helsing, and Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker. The movie centers on Count Dracula, who has been alive for centuries. In Transylvania during the late 1800s, he sees a photo of Jonathan Harker's fianceé, Mina, and believes she is the reincarnation of his long deceased wife. The story follows Dracula as he travels from Transylvania to England in an attempt to seduce her.
