USA 1992 | 130 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

The legend of the vampire prince of Transylvania comes to life on screen with Francis Ford Coppola's extravagant treatment. Gary Oldman is Dracula searching for Winona Ryder's veins in 19th-century London, while three beauties working in his service make do with the blood of her young fiancé (Keanu Reeves) trapped somewhere in the Transylvanian steppes inside the vampire's castle. The star cast also includes Anthony Hopkins and Tom Waits. The film's dazzling shots and numerous cinematic effects make it an impressive spectacle.
