Francis Ford Copolla's Bram Stoker's Dracula

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2019)

There are certainly scenes that work really well, and as a whole this movie looks absolutely gorgeous. The sets are elaborate and hauntingly gothic, the costumes are lavish and beautiful, the makeup in this film is absolutely incredible, and it boggles the mind to think how many hours Oldman must've sat in the makeup chair for some of the more makeup-heavy days. The biggest problem with this movie is some of the strange directorial choices Coppola makes. I will admit that Coppola took a lot of risks with this movie, and that's something that I can certainly appreciate. There are some scenes where I think his risk taking really paid off, but there are other scenes where it almost makes one cringe to watch.
