Film Forum's 25-film Coppola retrospective saves one of its wildest cards for Saturday night, and it arrives on 35mm. The 1992 Dracula is Coppola at full operatic volume — red silk, gothic architecture, Gary Oldman buried under centuries of makeup, a soundtrack that never once decides to calm down. It is a film built for a big room and a film print, which is exactly what it gets here.
What to expect
The 8:30pm show is the last Coppola screening of Film Forum's Saturday, running roughly 128 minutes from a 35mm print. Earlier the same day the retrospective plays GARDENS OF STONE on 35mm at 12:20 and APOCALYPSE NOW: FINAL CUT at 4:50, so you can stack a full Coppola day if you want one. Expect a repertory crowd that knows the movie and shows up for the projection, not the plot.
