The erotic aspects of Dracula are enhanced in this visual spectacle by Guy Madden. He uses the techniques of silent film and the Canadian Royal Ballet to produce a dream-like story of Dracula that is stunning and faithful. Even Dr. Van Helsing's examination of Lucy seems charged with eroticism.
Madden's love of the cinema of the 20s and 30s is evident in this avant garde film. Using Wei-Qiang Zhang as Dracula also adds a bit of xenophobia to the film. It would certainly have the stamp of approval from Lou Dobbs.
The use of color for emphasis was exquisite; and the dancing was absolutely beautiful. An amazing film.
