Dracula: A Love Tale
French director Luc Besson directs this new version of the Bram Stoker tale, starring Christoph Waltz and Caleb Landry Jones.
After the sudden loss of his wife, Prince Vladimir denies God and inherits an eternal curse, transforming into Dracula. Doomed to wander through centuries, he defies fate and death itself, driven by a single hope of being reunited with his lost love.
“Besson imbues his main character with a swashbuckling sexiness that suits his star’s craggy appeal.” ~Jocelyn Noveck, The Associated Press
“Its great take on its title character is enough to call this one of the Leon: The Professional and The Fifth Element filmmaker’s strongest in recent years. It takes a lot of swings, and while not all of them hit, it nails the stake in the heart of what makes this story so timeless and special.” ~Aidan Kelley, Collider
”[Besson’s] lavishly upholstered vampire romance has ambition and panache – and in all its Hammer-y cheesiness, I’m not sure I wouldn’t prefer to it to Robert Eggers’s recent, solemnly classy version of Nosferatu.” ~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
