Dracula
Feature Film, RO/AT/LU 2025, DCP, 170 min, OmeURadu Jude takes on the national myth of his homeland Romania—and how! We follow a director named Adonis who wants to shoot a monumental Dracula film on his search for ideas. But since it is not Adonis but Radu Jude directing, we don’t see one Dracula film but fourteen—a hair-raising tour de force that feels like riding a roller coaster for 170 minutes while scrolling on TikTok.
