 Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary Quote: Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary is a 2002 horror film directed by Guy Maddin. It is a silent interpretation of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's take of Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was originally filmed as a telefilm for CBC Television in Canada, but critical and popular acclaim brought it to a United States theatrical release.

Re: Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary It should be amazing (Maddin! melodrama! blood! ballet!) but somehow it feels like such a chore to get through. Much like most of the other Dracula pictures, appropriately enough. The story must just be a big bore.
I hate to say it, but Maddin's gimmicky style is wearing on me. I'd rather him do something less blatant and more subtle; My Winnipeg is his best because he toned down his incessant need for silent-film theatrics and overwrought melodrama. His early, unpolished, films must be nearly unwatchable.
