DRACULA

What happens when a young and curious filmmaker challenges his creativity with the limitless possibilities of a fake AI? A surprising blend of stories, both old and new, about the original myth of Dracula: a vampire hunt, zombies, and Dracula crashing a strike, a science-fiction tale about Vlad the Impaler’s return, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella, a tragic romance, a vulgar folktale, AI-generated kitsch stories… and much more! Provocative, parodic, jarringly self-aware, assertively sloppy, and deliciously raw. No matter the listing of attributes and descriptions, this ingenious synthesis of references and discourses resists any easy classification, while feeding on its excess. Our times might not be ready for Radu Jude’s Dracula – but after all, in Bram Stoker’s masterpiece, the Count casts no reflection in a mirror.
