How do you make a Dracula film in Transylvania today? Ask AI to do it. This is the setup for the provocative and prolific Romanian director’s foray into his country’s most famed antagonist. The story is told through an uninspired filmmaker’s attempts at making a vampire film, and what unfolds is a cacophonous, vulgar, and totally nuts mash-up of everything Dracula.
Indebted more to Paul Morrissey’s 1974 Blood for Dracula than the brooding supernatural eroticism that drives much of cinema’s interpretation of this myth, Jude’s film is a raucous critique of AI, capitalism, and the factory of culture.
2025, Romania, DCP, in Romanian/German/English with English subtitles, 170 min.
