Bram Stoker's Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula an American film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and released in 1992.

The scene in which Dracula and Mina are both in clothing.

An arty and flamboyant take on the Gothic tale of Dracula by Bram Stoker, surreal and make believe. This film's overall style is one that is Bohemian and experimental with a good helping of pornography mixed in, the acting is intentionally camped up and the costume and lighting are amazingly colorful and elaborate.   

Keanu Reeves trying to act.

Gary Oldman's interpretation of Dracula is interesting and original, it certainly contrasts with the lack of performance from Keanu Reeves whose absence of any facial expression and awful fake British accent are unbearable to behold. This movie is worth a watch but may not be to everyone's taste, depending on what the viewer takes away from the artistic and  avant garde aesthetic of the film, the appearance of a naked pair of breasts every few scenes can seem either gratuitous or in keeping with the romantic/Gothic style. Sex and death are of course two strong themes of the Gothic genre and Bram Stoker's Dracula is the most sexed up version of Dracula you're lightly to find.

Although an interesting and entertaining film, it does feel as though it's trying a little too hard to be 'arty' and is very much an over kill. If you want a film that is camp and slightly pretentious then this is the one for you, however if you're looking for a good Dracula film then I would much sooner recommend Tod Browning's 1931 film Dracula or the numerous Dracula Hammer films from the 1960s. I did enjoy watching Bram Stoker's Dracula but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been had the acting and plot not suffered in favor of the visuals.
