HorrorMusic

A cinematic version of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's adaptation of Bram Stoker's gothic novel Dracula. Filmed in a style reminiscent of silent Expressionist cinema of the early 20th century (complete with intertitles and monochrome photography), it uses dance to tell the story of a sinister but intriguing immigrant who preys upon young English women.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful and deeply sensual ballet film. Its expressionistic visuals and silent film style create an eerie, melancholic atmosphere. A slow-burn descent into gothic dread and forbidden desire.
