Nadja

Newly Added • 1h 37m

Directed by Michael Almereyda • 1994 • United States
Starring Elina Löwensohn, Peter Fonda, Suzy Amis

Shot on a shimmering mix of black-and-white 35 mm and hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Michael Almereyda’s gothic mood piece follows New York–based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she reconnects with her twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death, even as vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda) pursues her from Manhattan to Transylvania. Executive produced by David Lynch, this Gen X cult favorite merges elements of the 1936 horror classic DRACULA’S DAUGHTER and André Breton’s surrealist novel “Nadja” for a singularly dreamy, sexy, deadpan reinvention of vampire mythology.
