Nadja (Director’s Cut, 4K Restoration)

Michael Almereyda / 1994 / 93 min. / USA

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. New 4K restoration of the director’s cut.

  • "The most stylish vampire movie of the 1990s... simultaneously funny and sexy… a deadpan, bloodsucking adventure that proved you didn’t need a big budget if you had attitude, a cool setting, and an aesthetic point of view.”

    — Jordan Hoffman, Vanity Fair

  • "This triumph of low-budget filmmaking will shimmer for a week at Brooklyn Academy of Music.… At once literal and fantastic, often droll and at times rhapsodic… Almereyda’s use of desolate downtown locations is reminiscent of Scorsese’s in After Hours.”

    — J. Hoberman, The New York Times

  • “Mesmerizing. Michael Almereyda’s impossibly hip 1994 film.”

    — Alison Wilmore, New York Magazine

  • "A downright delirious experience. Among all the variations on the vampire legend that have haunted our screens over the past century, Nadja stands out as one of the most memorable."

    — Lee Juitton, Film Inquiry
