A raucous mélange of the demented and the degrading, indulging in the very garish, grotesque, X-rated madness it condemns.

Radu Jude’s gleefully stupid Dracula proves much too expansive — and much too invested in the centuries of barbarism that paved the way toward Silicon Valley — to be misunderstood as a simple rebuke against the grotesqueries of algorithmic image-making.

The overall effect is as if you fed a book of bawdy medieval verse to ChatGPT, which is perfectly in line with the film’s most provocative aspect.

As often as you may be tickled by its fanged silliness, you’ll also be drained.

It’s fitfully inspired in stretches, as Jude runs various creative scenarios through a mirthless AI generator, but as a viewer, being inundated with crap still hurts, even when there’s a satirical purpose.

As Dracula wears on, its lack of focus starts to grate, while Radu Jude’s deployment of profane, disreputable dialogue and imagery starts to resemble a stylistic tic more than a genuine affront to his audience’s sensibilities.

Jude is an interesting, admirably unorthodox filmmaker who likes to push his viewers. Here, he simply punishes us.

Dracula: A Love Tale delivers a restrained, romantic take on the classic legend, emphasizing Dracula’s enduring love for Lisa (also known as Elisabeth in other adaptations). While the film could have benefited from more action, its focus on intimacy offers a refreshing perspective. A thoughtful reimagining that’s worth a watch.
