Stars: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Erni Mangold, Vernon Dobtcheff, Xenia Kalogeropoulou | Written by Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Kim Krizan | Directed by Richard Linklater
Plaudits to Richard Linklater for his epic Boyhood, famously filmed over many years – a feat one day to be replicated with his Stephen Sondheim adaptation, Merrily We Roll Along. But he kind of already did it with his “Before” Trilogy: Sunrise (1995), Sunset (2004) and Midnight (2013), in each of which we catch a glimpse of a passionate relationship between two lovers at different times in their lives.
Before Sunrise opens with the initial meet-cute between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy), two twenty-something dreamers lounging on a long-distance train. They have a connection. Not some magical sense of entitlement, but a simple chemistry and a shared worldview. They jump off in Vienna, and then walk the city streets through the night, directionless, talking, kissing, and occasionally arguing.

When you’ve been married for centuries, it can be difficult to keep your marriage fresh. A bloodsucker seeks psycological counseling in Therapy for a Vampire, a new horror comedy hitting theaters this month.

Fortunately, Sigmund Freud is accepting new patients; the good doctor suggests the Count appease his vain wife by commissioning a portrait of her by his assistant, Viktor. But it’s Viktor’s headstrong girlfriend Lucy who most intrigues the Count, convinced she’s the reincarnation of his one true love. Soon, the whole crowd is a hilarious mess of mistaken identities and misplaced affections in this send-up of the vampire genre, proving that 500 years of marriage is enough.”

Fans of What We Do In The Shadows should take an interest in the new horror comedy Therapy for a Vampire. The film comes from Austrian writer/director David Rühm, and stars Veteran actor Tobias Moretti (The Dark Valley) as the grumpy count Geza von Kösznöm who’s visiting groundbreaking neurologist Sigund Freud because he’s bored of his life. The entire cast looks to be having fun in the trailer below, including Austrian acting legend Erni Mangold (Before Sunrise). I’m curious to see how it compares to the recent wave of vampire/comedy fare, but I’m definitely interested in this. I expect a sequence of campy, hijinks shenanigans, and plenty of nods and winks to Freud’s work.
