Evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch Michael Almereyda’s NADJA (1994) 🖤 bit.ly/4Al60ZH
Shot on a shimmering mix of black-and-white 35 mm and hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Almereyda’s gothic mood piece follows New York–based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she reconnects with her twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death, even as vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda) pursues her from Manhattan to Transylvania.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Coming on October 13th on Blu-ray in the US from @ArbelosFilms: #Nadja (1994)!
Following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda), New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) and her devoted companion Renfield (Karl Geary) are drawn close to her estranged and ailing twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris). As Van Helsing pursues this “fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania, his nephew Jim (Martin Donovan), Jim’s wife Lucy (Galaxy Craze), and Edgar’s private nurse Cassandra (Suzy Amis) are all drawn into an escalating battle between bloodlines.
Merging elements from Lambert Hillyer’s Dracula’s Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s landmark surrealist novel Nadja (1928), writer-director Michael Almereyda conjures a rare vampire film steeped in many genres, yet beholden to none. Executed produced by David Lynch, Nadja fuses shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, creating one of the most inspired visions to emerge from the 90s independent cinema movement.
Special Features:
New 4K restoration by Arbelos and Grasshopper Film
New video interview with star Elina Löwensohn
New video interview with producer Mary Sweeney
New video interview with producer Amy Hobby
New video interview with cinematographer Jim Denault
New interview with composer Simon Fisher-Turner
New interview with filmmaker Bertrand Mandico
Booklet featuring writing by writer-director Michael Almereyda
Three films directed by Almereyda shot in Pixelvision: Aliens (1993), At Sundance (1995, co-directed with Hobby), and The Rocking Horse Winner (1997)
