Radu Jude (Don’t Expect Too Much From the End of the World)– one of the most radical, provocative filmmakers working today–tackles vampirism in all its forms, from capitalism to AI, as he explores the legend of Dracula through Romanian lenses. What does the movie contain? A vampire hunt. Zombies and Dracula crashing a strike. A science-fiction story about the return of Vlad the Impaler . An adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella. A love story. A montage film reusing a classic vampire film. A vulgar folktale. AI-generated kitsch stories. Radu Jude expands his use of collage cinema to encompass an entire movie. “[I]t’s hard to resist its irreverence and the onslaught of ideas and quips, factoids and routines. A final sequence manages something completely unexpected, a moment of sincerity and genuine emotion” –John Bleasdale, Sight and Sound.
