DRACULA at Fantasporto 2012

At the 2012 Fantasporto (20 February - 04 March) in Porto, Portugal, the festival paid tribute to some of the best blood sucking films in the vampire canon: "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), which screned at the Rivoli Theater follwing a screening of another vampire classic, F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu" (1922).

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (in my opinion) is one of Coppola's great masterpieces... The film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel: 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'. It is a timeless love story between Mina and Dracula... which could be read as a love story between life and death, or perhaps the love story between light and dark, or perhaps the love story of all attracting and conflicting opposites... Now, this is goooood!
