An Edward Gorey Film Festival--"Dracula"
October 24, 3:30pm - 5:30pmMānoa Campus, Art Building Auditorium
"An Edward Gorey Film Festival" is part of a series of events held in conjunction with the exhibition "Musings of Mystery and Alphabets of Agony: The Work of Edward Gorey" on view at the University of Hawai'i Art Gallery. Edward Gorey was inspired by the vast range of books and films that he voraciously consumed from silent classics, mystery, thrillers, and pop culture. The films selected include his favorites such as Louis Feuillade’s "Les Vampires" and Alfred Hitchcock’s "The Lady Vanishes." Others were selected for similarities that can be seen in the characters, stories, and dark humor. Each film is preceded by a short educational presentation.
"Dracula," directed by John Badham, (109 min., rated R)
Universal City, CA: MCA Home Video, 1986.
Cast: Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan.
Notes: From the novel of the same title by Bram Stoker. Based on the stage play by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Executive producer, Marvin Mirisch; screenplay, W.D. Richter; music, John Williams; special visual effects, Albert Whitlock.
Summary: Throughout history Dracula has filled the hearts of men with terror and the hearts of women with desire. This stylish new production of the classic gothic horror tale stars Frank Langella, repeating his electrifying award-winning stage performance as the blood-thirsty Count, and Laurence Olivier as the devout vampire hunter Von Helsing who is Dracula’s nemesis. A great cast, fine direction, and a superbly atmospheric musical score make this the ultimate Dracula.
