Sublimation of romance in both spiritual & carnal sides in a thrilling, dark & foreboding atmosphere. Impressive cinematography & time-colouring, making up for some memorable scenes. Unequal performances though (top-notch stuff by Oldman, blunt act by Keenu). 2020 edit, after reading the book: Masterpiece. Should have been titled Coppola's Dracula as the director, although adapting the original material, proceeds to a substantial transfiguration. The film is a constant dialogue between two great artists, making use of aesthetics and themes most pertinent to their time. The book serves as a revered foundation, on which the director builds upon layers of subtext, a new story & meanings

很喜欢Kristin Scott Thomas的气质,可这部片子里,她实在不怎么动人。因为整个故事我就不喜欢。其中的爱情部分和廊桥遗梦一样,庸俗的婚外恋嘛。马和小姑娘的部分倒是不错,但表现力还是不够,不如小说中那么天人合一
