Universal Monsters
Dracula, Frankenstein, a mummy, an invisible man and other Creatures from the Black Lagoon from Universal Studios in the 1930s will thrill festivalgoers. Restored prints! Common to these unusual beings: a repulsive appearance, often hiding a high sensitivity, misunderstood by their contemporaries.
Retrospective made possible thanks to 
Dracula by Tod Browning (1931, 1h25)
Despite warnings, Renfield visits the Count Dracula in his Carpathian castle... Tod Browning gives the literary myth rare visual power and brings Bela Lugosi into the pantheon of legendary actors.
