Le Bal de Dracula



A very short film, at just under 4-minutes, that was directed by Lucas Dupuy – this has a tremendous amount of style in the photography, forgoing anything other than a basic narrative (which is probably as well, given the length) for said style.


The film is set in Transylvania and we meet the Countess (Elo Cinquanta) and Count Dracula (Valentin Dupuy) who hold court with a group of vampires. A group of prisoners are brought before them. We see a flash of a bite and hear screams but then the Count asks the prisoners to dance.

Will their fate be only to dance or is a more toothsome destiny in store? Not a difficult one to guess but you can see for yourself below. As I mentioned the photography (along with the lighting) for this one is quite sumptuous and, given its length, it doesn’t outstay its welcome. The imdb page is here.
