### **ABOUT THE FILM:** A struggling director in contemporary Transylvania sets out to film a production of DRACULA. What begins as a simple attempt to revive a familiar myth quickly spirals into something far stranger, as AI interventions, theatrical experiments, and a whirlwind of genres—from slapstick and satire to horror and science-fiction—collide in ways no one could predict. The result is a hall of mirrors where folklore, politics, and pop culture feed on one another like restless spirits. Radu Jude’s latest work is a dazzling and confrontational riff on the vampire legend, exploding the boundaries between cinema, theatre, and digital collage. By turns hilarious, abrasive, and unsettling, DRACULA is less an adaptation than a delirious reinvention and an electrifying reminder that old myths can still bite.
