Dracula and Son
-
£21.00 £23.00
For his tenth and final screen appearance as Dracula, Christopher Lee starred – speaking fluent French – in this slyly ingenious 1976 horror comedy based on a novel by Claude Klotz (THE HAIRDRESSER’S HUSBAND) and directed by Academy Award® nominee Édouard Molinaro (LA
CAGE AUX FOLLES). But when the U.S. distributor re-cut and dubbed the
film into a broad parody, it was deservedly met with universal disdain.
Molinaro’s Director’s Cut can now be experienced for the first time ever
in America, lovingly restored in 4K from the original negative with
both French & English audio tracks. Bernard Menez (DAY FOR NIGHT), Marie-Hélène Breillat (LAST TANGO IN PARIS) and future writer/director Catherine Breillat (ANATOMY OF HELL) co-star in this “charming satire” (The Christopher Lee Filmography) featuring a sumptuous score by Vladimir Cosma (DIVA) and loaded with vintage & new Special Features.
