Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

Strange things are afoot in Bad City. The Iranian ghost town, home to prostitutes, junkies, pimps, and
other sordid souls, is a place that reeks of death and hopelessness, where a lonely vampire is stalking
the towns' most unsavory inhabitants. But when boy meets girl, an unusual love story begins to
blossom...blood red.
The first Iranian Vampire Western, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature basks in the sheer pleasure of
pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti
westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave. Amped by a mix of Iranian rock,
techno and Morricone-inspired riffs, its airy, anamorphic, black-and-white aesthetic and artfully drawnout
scenes combine the simmering tension of Sergio Leone with the weird surrealism of David Lynch.

The atmosphere and aesthetic of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is pleasing. The film itself isn't plot driven or attached to any cohesive narrative, however I don't believe that is the point. The themes are clear and the meaning is open to interpretation. It is more of a piece of art that relies on the viewer to derive meaning.

Beautifully shot, amazing soundtrack, great story. It can be a bit slow at times, especially if you're more into action films, but it is one of my favorite movies to have come out this past year.

Such a hip film, watched it with my bestie and we absolutely loved it! A great movie to watch during quarantine. <3
