Dracula
What happens when a young and curious filmmaker challenges his creativity with the limitless possibilities of AI?
The latest film from Radu Jude is an outrageous mix of various stories, from times 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, A.I. generated kitsch stories… and much more!
“It’s f*cking nuts” Robert Daniel, rogerebert.com
“A mercilessly funny and outrageously bold work that once again consolidates Jude as one of the most unusual and radical filmmakers of his generation” Matthew Joseph Jenner, International Cinephile Society
“Radu Jude’s Gloriously Stupid Vampire Epic Is the First Movie to Make Any Meaningful Use of Generative AI” David Erlich, Indiewire
