Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend

United States l 1992 l English l Horror/Romance

Join us for the next in our regular Saturday Film Club screenings, pairing a contemporary classic with an in-depth discussion featuring Alexei Toliopoulos and special guests.

This special screening will feature a Q&A with Alexei Toliopoulos alongside Maria Lewis.

Step inside the shadows as Francis Ford Coppola’s acclaimed vision of Dracula is brought to life with an all-star cast led by Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves.

Returning to the original source of the Dracula myth, Coppola punctuates his pitch-dark love story about the vampire who travels from Eastern Europe to England in search of human love with baroque flourishes. Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this modern masterpiece features Dracula as you've never seen him.

Presented by Sydney Opera House
