The Luxbox, based in Paris, has taken on Radu Jude’s Dracula<\/em> and will start sales for the Romanian writer-director’s vampire tale in Cannes. The comedy-drama, currently in post-production, was shot in Transylvania, where the original myth was created, and combines several twists against Dracula’s history.<\/p>\n According to Jude, "The film is shot with a lot of joy – a joy in the cinema and the storytelling – and despite the fact that our world is full of vampires, I hope that this joy will be felt and shared by those who will see the film. Make Dracula great again!" He described Dracula<\/em> as "a film about the cinema itself, with its limits, its history, and its myths."<\/p>\n Jude’s Dracula<\/em> will look at the legend of Dracula through various angles, including "The Absurd (in homage to the historical avant-garde), Pulp (in homage to JLGS Alphaville<\/em> (Bu\u00f1uel)), politically (Romero), theater (Brecht), exaggerated (Lucian Pintilie), and cheeky." This unique approach promises to bring a fresh perspective to the classic tale.<\/p>\n Dracula<\/em> is produced by Romania’s Saga Film, Witcraft Nabis Film, Luxembourg’s The Raisa Film, and Romania’s microfilm. Jude has previously worked with Luxbox on Continental ’25<\/em>, which premiered in February in the competition in Berlin and won the Silver Bear for the best script.<\/p>\n Jude won Berlin’s Golden Bear in 2021 for Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn<\/em> and the Silver Bear for the best director in 2015 for Aferim<\/em>. His most recent film, Don’t Expect Too Much from the End of the World<\/em>, debuted at the Locarno Film Festival in 2023. With his impressive track record, Jude’s Dracula<\/em> is highly anticipated in the film industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction to Dracula The Luxbox, based in Paris, has taken on Radu Jude’s Dracula and will start sales for the Romanian writer-director’s vampire tale in Cannes.
