The China-born but UK- and US-educated Chloe Zhao won the Best Director award at the Golden Globes on February 28, 2021, in an early harbinger of the film’s later award season success. It is China-not the Academy Award nor Nomadland as an artistic text-that has become the focus of most of the media coverage about the film. Nomadland, a film set in the American hinterland, has somehow outshined Mank among the chattering classes-not necessarily for its cinematic feats but for the director’s Chinese origin. ![]() The Hollywood novice and outsider Chloe Zhao wrote, directed, and edited Nomadland (2021), the Oscar-crowned best picture that has generated far more international attention than all the rest of its fellow academy Best Picture nominees for 2021, including the much talked about (at least among seasoned Hollywood watchers and practitioners) Mank, a meta cinematic tale about the birth of Hollywood’s legendary film Citizen Kane, from the quintessential US film industry insider David Fincher. ![]() ![]() ![]() In casting Winona Ryder as both Elisabeta and Mina Murray, the overarching story becomes Dracula’s quest to recapture his great love.

The considerably different 1927 Hamilton Deane-John L.Balderston stage play is the basis for the best known Dracula films, notably the 1931 Bela Lugosi version. Hart is the first screenwriter to have had the bright idea to fundamentally follow the quite wonderful 1897 novel.
