From the organizer:

Never has Dracula been visualized so stylishly as in Francis Ford Coppola’s film and wardrobe is the key. This Halloween come to our screening of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” – a horror movie by Francis Ford Coppola, published in 1992. After the movie we will have a little talk about Eiko Ishioka (1938 -2012), the costume designer of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, who won an Academy Award for costume design in this movie. Trained as a graphic designer, Ms. Ishioka was for decades considered the foremost art director in Japan; she later came to be known as one of the foremost in the world.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

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 Dracula was the winner of three Academy Awards.
