It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A sometimes-interesting black and white independent art house cheapie produced by David Lynch that's sort of like a homage to "Dracula's Daughter (1936)". In New York City, another daughter of Bela Lugosi's Dracula (public domain closeups of a bearded Bela from WHITE ZOMBIE are utilized to sub for her Old Man) deals with her own vampirism and hopes to be freed from her curse, since her infamous dad was recently destroyed by Van Helsing (Peter Fonda!). The leading actress is good but Fonda is rather awkward. Of course the film finds it necessary to over-do the lesbian angle. Too many distorted camera shots at times, but worth a look for the heartfelt tribute to old Universal Horror. It's played very serious, at least ... perhaps too serious. ** out of ****

Dracula's daughter Nadja wanders New York City,melancholy and driven by her need for blood.She seduces and drinks from the depressed Lucy.Meanwhile Lucy's husband Jim is asked to help his friend Van Helsing who has been arrested for staking Dracula.But then the two of them realize that Nadja is drinking from Lucy.As they try to hunt her down,Nadja and her self-described 'slave' Renfield flee back to Rumania."Nadja" is a post-modern vampire flick which is actually a black-and-white reworking "Dracula's Daughter"(1936).The film was produced by David Lynch who also played a small cameo as a morgue attendant that gets hypnotized by Nadja.The film is splendidly photographed in a glorious black-and-white and offers tons of mesmerizingly dreamy atmosphere.Overall,"Nadja" is much better than overrated and too philosophical "The Addiction".The soundtrack by Portishead and The Verve is fabulous too!

I like a good vampire film as much, if not more so, than the next person so imagine how I felt when I had the misfortune to see this so called 'artistic' effort. Out of focus passages and pretentious dialogue doesn't make something arty, it just serves to make it so boring as to be a complete waste of film. It brings nothing new to the genre in fact it only seems to repeat the same stale old clichés that have already been done to death - I mean female vampire as lesbian seducer? Now where have I seen that before? Oh just about every vampire film since the early 1970's!In one word - AVOID!

The hilarious and well-written dialogue featured in Nadja is enough to categorize it as an instant cult-classic. If you can't add at least ten of history's most unforgettable one-liners to your personal collection after viewing this film you are hearing-impaired and should seek medical attention. The style and cinematography follows in the theme of general nuttiness provided by the script, and anyone who's sense of humor is not so moth-eatenly archaic that they can't appreciate ingeniously formulated nonsense is sure to wet their pants with laughter. Nadja also features the wonderful acting talent of Elina Löwensohn and Peter Fonda, and has a great soundtrack which includes Portishead. The film is not intended to be scary (although the "bizzare vampire sexuality" is a little) but overall it is an entertainment masterpiece worthy of owning, and I give it two fangs in the neck of unenlightened criticism.
