Drácula (Spanish Version)

Join us in-theater for a discussion with Christopher Harris, Professor of Visual Arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University.

This Spanish-language production of the iconic Tod Browning monster classic was shot concurrently on the same sets (at night) and with virtually the same script. The only differences: this version features a Spanish-speaking cast and an additional 25 minutes. Based on Bram Stoker's novel, the film follows Drácula, a centuries-old vampire who sets his sights on a young woman named Eva. Considered by many as the superior version, DRÁCULA boasts better performances, camerawork, and more atmosphere than its American counterpart. In Spanish w/ subtitles.
