Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Cary Elwes, and Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Description
Count Dracula, a 15th-century prince, is condemned to live off the blood of the living for eternity. Young lawyer Jonathan Harker is sent to Dracula's castle to finalize a land deal, but when the Count sees a photo of Harker's fiancée, Mina, the spitting image of his dead wife, he imprisons him and sets off for London to track her down.
This is my favorite interpretation of the novel by far, elevated I think, by the institution of the love story between Dracula and Mina. This was the creation of Francis Ford Coppola, the director, and James V. Hart, the screenwriter.
It is the perfect marriage between Gothic Horror and Gothic Romance!
