It analyzes Product Placement as the embedding of an advertising message within a fictional one, as the insertion of a trademarked object into the realisms of filmic space, and as the incorporation of corporate remakings of the world with film fictions.

  • Bram Stoker's Dracula
    Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp. 62-74 Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Danièle André University of La Rochelle, France Dracula, that master of masks, can be read as the counterpart to the Victorian society that judges people by appearances. They both belong to the realm of shadows in so far as what they show is but deception, a shadow that seems to be the reality but that is in fact cast on a wall, a modern version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Dracula rules over the world of representation, be it one of images or tales; he can only live if people believe in him and if light is not thrown on the illusion he has created. Victorian society is trickier: it is the kingdom of light, for it is the time when electric light was invented, a technological era in which appearances are not circumscribed by darkness but are masters of the day. It is precisely when the light is on that shadows can be cast and illusions can appear. Dracula’s ability to change appearances and play with artificiality (electric light and moving images) enhances the illusions created by his contemporaries in the late 19th Century. Through the supernatural atmosphere of his 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola thus underlines the deep links between cinema and a society dominated by both science and illusion. And because cinema is both a diegetic and extra-diegetic actor, the 62 Danièle André, Coppola’s Luminous Shadows: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Film Journal / 5 / Screening the Supernatural / 2019 / pp.
