Editorial Review:
Description:
After garnering widespread acclaim with his mini-masterpiece THE HEART OF THE WORLD, red hot cult auteur Guy Maddin (THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD) has taken on the world’s most adapted horror tale and concocted his most original and ravishingly stylized cinematic creation yet. Beautifully transposing the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s interpretation of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire yarn from stage to screen, Maddin has forged a sumptuous, erotically charged feast of dance, drama and silent film techniques. The black-and-white, blood-red-punctured DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN’S DIARY is a Gothic grand guignol of the notorious Count and his bodice-ripped victims, fringed with the expressionistic strains of Gustav Mahler.

I only bought this DVD because I have a Dracula DVD collection and I thought it would be nice to have a ballet production of the novel.
However ony a few minutes after it begins, you start to notice that you are in for something big and meaningful.
You start to notice the little details that reminisce Murnau's style or Tod Borwning's and even Coppola's.
After a little longer the details begin to give shape to a nice homage to almost every cinematic Dracula.
The use of certain ... Read More

Dracula has made it to film more often than any other novel. From the original Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi's iconic Dracula to Hammer's Horror of Dracula and modern classic Bram Stoker's Dracula (just to name a few) there has been no shortage of filmmakers lining up to adapt the most legendary of literary works of horror to the silver screen. So the popular preconception is that there is nothing left to be done with it; no way to show us this story in a way we haven't already seen before. WRONG! I ... Read More

MAHLER would turn in his grave ~ this is a highly pretentious, overrated work ~ a dreadful expample of everything including ballet ....[such a pity - really - Bram Stoker IS a fascinating subject for ballet].
not avant-garde [KITCH is far more appropriate].
for originality please visit MATS EK .......

Dracula Pages from a Virgin's diary is the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's take on Bram Stoker's Dracula brought to screen in the form of a silent film in 2003 by Canadian director Guy Maddin with an Asian Count Dracula played by Wei-Qiang Zhang, and titles that jump off the screen as from a comic book at times. It is one of the most unique movies I have ever seen. For those that know of techniques used in silent films in Roger Ebert's review (which he gave 3 1/2 stars) he states "the visuals include all the ... Read More

Here's an oddball DVD for your collection -- a silent Dracuala movie, done artfully in black and white with an Asian Dracula, that is also a music video to the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, a ballet, and a music video. Got all that?
It's a bit hard to tell from watching and listening to this what they had in mind with this piece of art. Produced in Manitoba, of all places, for the Canadian Broadcasting System in 2002, the manifest content is a movie about an Asian Dracula and a group of virgins. ... Read More
