Everyone knows that Dracula has a heart; Coppola knows that it is more than an organ to drive a stake into. To the director, the count is a restless spirit who has been condemned for too many years to interment in cruddy movies. This luscious film restores the creature's nobility and gives him peace...
...Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs: gangsters pull a heist, then engage in a long therapy session of bitchery and carnage.
