Vuoden 2013 Loikka-festivaalin pitkien elokuvien pääteoksena nähdään Kanadan kiitetyimpiin ohjaajiin kuuluvan Guy Maddinin villi uudelleentulkinta Bram Stokerin klassikkoromaanista. Teoksessa 1920-luvun mykkäelokuvatyyli yhdistyy romanttisen baletin liikekieleen ja musiikkivideomaiseen extreme-leikkaukseen. Tätä et ole ennen nähnyt!
Canadian cult auteur Guy Maddin has concocted his most ravishingly stylized cinematic creation to date. Beautifully transposing the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s interpretation of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire yarn from stage to screen, Maddin has forged a sumptuous, erotically charged feast of dance, drama and shadow. The black-and-white, blood-red-punctured ‘Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary’ is a Gothic grand guignol of the notorious Count and his bodice-ripped victims, fringed with the expressionistic strains of Gustav Mahler.
