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 (TESLA, EXPERIMENTER, HAMLET) acclaimed cult film centers
on New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she draws close to her twin brother
Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter
Fonda). Edgar’s private nurse (Suzy Amis), Van Helsing’s nephew Jim (Martin Donovan), and
Jim’s wife (Galaxy Craze) are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend”
from Manhattan to Transylvania. Executive produced by David Lynch.
