This is one of Keanu Reeves’ highest rated films… but also the one he is in the worst. Find out which feature film it is!
Considered one of the most iconic actors of our time, and a true star of action cinema thanks to the John Wick saga, Keanu Reeves enjoys extraordinary popularity among moviegoers.
The career of the Canadian actor includes numerous box office hits, whether it is the first part of the Speed saga, or the Matrix tetralogy. But his filmography is not limited to action films, quite the contrary.
During his career, Keanu Reeves has crossed paths with renowned filmmakers, such as Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho), Richard Linklater (A Scanner Darkly), Kathryn Bigelow (Point Break) and Bernardo Bertolucci (Little Buddha). .
But it was his meeting with Francis Ford Coppola that allowed him to star in one of his best films. Rated 4.1/5 by AlloCiné Internet users, Dracula dating from 1992 was designed as a faithful but also modernized adaptation of the famous horror novel by Bram Stoker.
“Deserved” criticism according to Keanu Reeves
For this feature film, the director of the Godfather trilogy has brought together a cast including Gary Oldman in the title role, Anthony Hopkins in the role of vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, Winona Ryder in the role of Mina Murray or Sadie Frost in the role of Lucy Westenra.
Still considered a promising young actor in the eyes of the general public, but also as a muse of American independent cinema, Keanu Reeves was given the role of Jonathan Harker.
The metamorphoses of Gary Oldman, from Sid Vicious and Dracula to Mank
This young man acts as the main protagonist of the film, but also as narrator through the reading of extracts from his diary taken from the novel (Bram Stoker’s book takes the form of an epistolary story). But Keanu Reeves’ interpretation has been the subject of numerous criticisms, and for once he proves his detractors right!
Guest from an American podcast, the 59-year-old actor reveals that the criticism against him for his performance in Dracula is “deserved” because of his English accent used in the film. A British accent with which the latter was not comfortable, but which according to him does not detract from the qualities of the film, and particularly from Gary Oldman’s interpretation of Dracula.
The film Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola will leave the Warner Pass catalog (available as a paid subscription on Prime Video) on November 5!
