In 1897, Bram Stoker published Dracula, one of the most famous and important pieces of English literature. If you haven't heard of it, congratulations, you're a newborn baby! I'll explain it to you if you promise not to grow up to be a transphobe.
It's an epistolary novel about the eponymous Count Dracula, told via a series of letters and transcripts of interviews, etc. (I’m sure you know what ‘epistolary’ means and I’m sorry to patronise; it’s for the newborn…
This film is just a miracle. Everything works. Maybe the best film ever made. Maybe?

One day, back in primary school, they rounded up my class and sat us down in front of the little CRT monitor on the big trolley. Usually that meant a new episode of a show where they find magic puzzle pieces by solving maths riddles, but not this time.
