“Michael Almereyda’s insanely brilliant fantasia on the Dracula legend.”—Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Merging elements from Dracula’s Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja (1928), and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Michael Almereyda’s (Tesla, Experimenter, Hamlet) acclaimed cult film centers on New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she draws close to her twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda).
Edgar’s private nurse (Suzy Amis), Van Helsing’s nephew Jim (Martin Donovan), and Jim’s wife (Galaxy Craze) are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania.
The film was executive produced by David Lynch and the restoration was conducted from the 35mm answer print that was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1994—three minutes longer than the commercial release. 1994, U.S., 4K DCP, 93 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
