Based
on Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, this film from Francis Ford Coppola and
screenwriter James Victor Hart offers a full-blooded portrait of the
immortal Transylvanian vampire. The major departure from Stoker is one of
motivation as Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) is motivated more by romance than
by bloodlust. He punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his
wife in the 15th century, and when he comes to London, it is specifically to
meet heroine Mina Harker (Winona Ryder), the living image of his late wife
(Ryder plays a dual role, as do several of her costars). Anthony Hopkins is
obsessed vampire hunter Van Helsing, while Keanu Reeves takes on the role of
Jonathan Harker, and Tom Waits plays bug-eating Renfield. Bram Stoker's
