This is definitely the best film adaptation of Dracula's character.
Gary Oldman is fantastic as Dracula, and the whole casting is great. The atmosphere is dark and gloomy and completely draws us into the story.
The cast and excellent direction make this film special. The details are subtle and carefully run through the story making this a great film experience. The start of the film is particularly impressive, and Dracula's armour is amazing.
Dracula is a story about sinking into evil, a story about redemption and the search for love. Narratively well composed, this film is a true example of how to turn a book into a film.
Gary Oldman is an excellent choice for the role of Count Dracula, the casting in general is excellent. Anthony Hopkins is interesting and funny in the role of Van Hellsing, but the other actors also did a great job.
The costume design is great, the makeup department really did a great job, There are some minor gripes, but they are so few that they are not even worth mentioning. The impression of the film is surrealistic, the colours and composition are interesting and fully correspond to the theme and story of the film.
The very beginning of the film is impressive, it shows despair and anger and ultimately all that is born out of it.
What is really interesting is that Dracula is not a simple villain, he is layered and at some points we understand him and sympathize with him, even though his actions are monstrous. That's what makes this movie and this story as close to perfection as it can be.
Brilliant details, great cinematography and an excellent cast.
