Description: Djuna is courted by Paolo but resists him.
Passion gives in at one point and the couple is united.
Then arrives Djuna’s younger sister, a rebel that intrudes on the happiness of the couple.
Her presence could be ignored, was it not for the fact that the relationship between the three of them starts to interfere with the normal dealings of the vampire community they are a part of!
Before us unfolds a love story between a beautiful vampire and a mortal man. Long holding back, the heroine is still inferior to temptation and drinks the blood of his beloved and not killing him. However, soon declared sister vampire that tries to put an end to foreign relations and to save the race of vampires from the threat of disclosure.
The film works on atmosphere and visuals, one should not expect some sort of epic plot and heart-rending emotions, pathetic dialogues and mind-blowing special effects. I liked the actors, but Milo I know none of them. Of the characters still Mimi, sister of the main character, the most interesting. After its appearance, the main couple seems somewhat fresh.
Music is awesome and really creates the right mood.
Didn’t like the installation, although by the second half of the film you get used to it. There are some complaints about the image of the vampire life, but it is difficult Creator can safely say “I see” and he is right. I see a little differently, and plastic lenses in tandem with blood-smeared mouths make me smile and condescending to observe this action. Here it looks stupid and inappropriate, the film is not about that. But it’s probably my only cavil.
This picture deserves to be viewed and appreciated. It’s not a horror, not mystery and not a romance as such. Although the film is primarily about feelings: not only about love but also about hatred, about despair. The film is about what each of us is free to choose how to live, but also responsible for it. This is an adult film, and not because there is a lot of erotic scenes.

I actually caught this in an “art-house” when it came out (no real advertising about it—as per “art houses”). It was kinda unique and erotic, but with a bit of dark humor tossed in (with the jealous sister). OH—and Milo Ventimiglia is as stoic as ever (considering he just got thru HEROES).
