Bram Stoker's Dracula

About this event

Dir. Francis Ford Coppola. 1992, 128 mins. U.S. 35mm. With Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Sadie Frost, Keanu Reeves, Tom Waits. In adapting the original Victorian-era Gothic vampire novel, Coppola pulled out all the stops and then some. For his rendition of the Dracula story, Coppola produced a quirky, idiosyncratic, and over-the-top cascade of lush and violent horror imagery that was, miraculously, a box-office smash. Working with brilliantly self-imposed limitations (all practical effects that would have been possible in the silent era); cramming every frame with monumental sets and matte paintings; and directing Oldman in one of his finest performances as the devilishly romantic Transylvanian count, Coppola created a film so sensational that even the notoriously horror-averse Academy Awards honored it three times, for makeup, sound effects, and Eiko Ishioka’s dazzling costumes. Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / $7 MoMI members. There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases. The cost of admission may be applied toward a same-day purchase of a membership. Order tickets. Please pick up tickets at the Museum’s admissions desk upon arrival. All seating is general admission.
