Join us and Bilge Ebiri (New York Magazine / Vulture) to delve into Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 masterpiece. We discuss the early critical reception and why the broader consensus has come around to this sexed-up, theatrical, in-camera-practical-effects-driven, reinvention of the classic vampire story. We discuss the uncanny and the helplessness induced by the film’s meandering epistolary style, as well Coppola’s genre reinventions and the standoff between materialism and spiritualism. If you haven’t seen this movie, CHECK IT OUT! And then come back and join us for a spooky conversation!
