A struggling director in contemporary Transylvania turns to AI when he hits a creative roadblock for his film project. What begins as a simple inquiry into how to turn a Dracula film into a hit, quickly devolves into a series of bizarre vignettes exploring the myth of this iconic vampire. Romanian director Radu Jude’s latest work is a frenetic and madcap critique of AI, capitalism, and cultural degradation wrapped in an epic film pushing the boundaries of cinema, theatre, and digital collage.
"It’s f*cking nuts."

"No one operates at Radu Jude’s level. If anything, he's having the last laugh, and that's all that matters."
–Maxance Vincent, Awards Radar
"The garish excess of generative A.I. receives a fittingly excessive dressing down in Radu Jude’s Dracula, a self-reflexive comedy that skirts ethical lines with a purpose."
–Siddhant Adlakha, Observer
