Jude's 'Dracula': Chaotic, AI-Fueled Anti-Art Film | JQJO

Radu Jude's new film, "Dracula," is a chaotic, three-hour-long anti-art statement that satirizes cinematic traditions and the exploitation of the Dracula mythos. Using AI-generated imagery and a wildly eclectic style, Jude blends various cinematic styles, from TikTok to silent film, creating a deliberately messy and excessive experience. The film critiques commercial filmmaking and the allure of "bad" art, employing cheap visuals and over-the-top elements to challenge audience expectations. While ambitious, its excessive length hinders its impact.
