Dog’s Movie House – Luc Besson’s “Dracula” An Odd Bird Of A Film With Some Interesting Moments!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the latest cinematic version of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel “Dracula.” This one is written and directed by notable filmmaker Luc Besson, who gave us “The Fifth Element” and “La Femme Nikita” among others. This version makes some rather severe changes to Stoker’s story while keeping the essential narrative intact. The film is set in not only Transylvania but in Paris rather than England. Several of the characters have been changed from the book as well, although they are essentially playing similar roles in the a different costume. Besson leans into the tragic romance that drives the story but leaves most of the scares at home!
