Vlad Țepeș (film)
Vlad Țepeș is a 1979 Romanian historical drama film directed by Doru Năstase.Commissioned by the Communist authorities, the movie promoted the line that Nicolae Ceaușescu had drawn through the July Theses of 1971, by projecting the image of a strong, authoritarian leader who is right with the people.It also had the purpose to wash the name of the voivode from the shame caused by Bram Stoker's novel.The fabrication of the myth of Dracula is highlighted in the film: it was built by outside elements (on the one hand, the Saxon and Szekler merchants from Brașov, and on the other, the enemies of Wallachia, the Turks), but also by the wicked and traitorous boyars.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.This article related to historical films is a stub.
