CRITICISM OF DRACULA IS NOT DEAD BY LUIZO VEGA (English only)
It is a great film Transgender Cinema that combines the background and form hypnotically, arrogant, brilliant, brilliant and ultra mastered. A dazzling, seductive form, a rhythmic editing, an inventive writing, a soundtrack that always has meaning that is at the level of its image of a striking beauty.

A rich background nourished by great films of cinema, literature, history of art, mythology, music, urban culture, sexual practices, performances, love of difference, love of beauty and the unique. A quest for purity in a world that is lost in appearance (s). But what if the truth was elsewhere ?
Transgender because it is probably the only film in the world where straight, gay, lesbian, disabled, black, beautiful, ugly rub shoulders, look at each other, respect each other desire or love each other. Written and played in English and French, the 71-minute film breaks all the codes, reverses the powers, explodes the clichés. Voice over, written voice, spoken voice, all the voices are mixed in an incredible show or baroque opera with practices bondage, exhibitions and other disturbing dances and cult scenes that take in the face like a big slap salutary.
"Dracula is no dead" it is a film of cinema thus but also a televised show in the form of television Reality of a new kind, a kind which makes fun of the appearances, a feminist kind, couillu, sensual, referential where swarm a thousand bluffing ideas.
Dracula encamped (Luizo Vega) and his faithful Nosferatu (Jean Crozon) walk in a Paris in the shape of Sodom and Gomorrah. Her life is commented in the studio by a transgender female presenter (Mariana Genesio), too. It is cut out and appears as a beautiful hologram that goes through all human feelings.
In a fashion capital Paris, women are strong, refuse to get naked to cover and insist that men are naked.
Dracula is handsome, muscular, motorcycling, predatory and desire-seeking, following the advice of his friend Nosferatu to get to the end of his quest under the gaze of the TV camera. But do not be fooled and do not judge behaviors too easily, Dracula is not gay, he is just curious, curious about everything, curious about the world.
"Dracula is no dead" is a movie clip of more than an hour on a frenzied rhythm of scenes like the love between Lilith (the buxom and sublime Ylva Falk) and Dracula, fake advertisements, performances of all kinds which is totally in its time and makes the link between several periods of the Cinema, it is a film totally crossroads. There is a great ambition in this feature film, that of a hyper aesthetic demand, graphic that is never gratuitous or aesthetic but always gives meaning, tells the story of one or more parallel worlds that interferes -penetrate to the envy.
"Dracula is no dead" is a perpetually balanced mix of art that is balanced on a film that never makes it fall into any vulgarity, ease or complacency, one is is instead in a work full of absolute and that n has made no compromises with herself, her requirements and her values.
It is both international and very Parisian, where we meet Bruce Labruce, Beatrice Dalle, Abel Ferrara and key figures of new generations such as Lara Laquiz, Marine Barbier, Clara de Gobert, Lucie Clément and many others who have all. all their place. Only Jean-Luc Verna is missing from this painting, but this painting is also doing very well without him. We are witnessing an exciting, disturbing Paris that is reminiscent of a leather and phantasmal Berlin of Cinema.
Luizo Vega and Jean Crozon as actors and authors of this unclassifiable film but which is not especially the film of a single genre triumph in their respective fields, they have the talent, the photogeny and the intelligence to have invented a disturbing and fascinating world that will be talked about for a very long time. I’m betting here, without taking too many risks, that this film will become with the months and the years a cinematographic reference.
The virginal quest is above all a superb narrative pretext, because the answer is in this abundant, plural and singular film that will leave no one indifferent. The important thing is not the end, but the journey. There will be a before and after "Dracula is no dead".
