Description
Merging elements from Dracula's Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja (1928), and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Michael Almereyda’s acclaimed cult film centers on New York-based vampire Nadja as she draws close to her twin brother Edgar following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing. Edgar’s private nurse, Van Helsing’s nephew Jim, and Jim's wife are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania. Executive produced by David Lynch.

Reviews
"It is refreshing to see so much style and life in the old undead tale, and watch this strong cast with its perfect deadpan attitudes." —The New York Times
"A dreamy mood piece with striking poetic images" —Chicago Reader
"Even as Nadja descends deeper into its downward, surrealistic spiral, the movie's always great watch." —The Washington Post
