Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
用一种非常话剧的方式拍出了令人心醉神怡的前戏和事后。即便是在这种单纯的肉体欢娱的交易中，一直被束缚着的主角也渴望着更进一步的浪漫亲密关系，渴望得到性的突破与解放，当然她也做到了。
所有人都應該多看幾遍這部作品，性愉悅并不可恥，女性更應該更好地瞭解自己、愛自己。男主說他的夢想是看到維納斯，蘇珊就是啊，下垂的乳房、鬆弛的皮膚、發福的腰圍，最後接納鏡中一絲不挂的自己時，那姿態分明就是煥發著波提切利維納斯光彩的維爾倫多夫的維納斯。
go find your own pleasure and chase it without shame!
慢火煮酒，余韵悠长。
I cried because it’s somehow so relatable and empowering for me对我来说比before sunrise更现实、更可能发生、更有意义、更现代的两性关系展示，一种随着成年愈发充斥我的孤独与羞耻的reflection，this is not and cannot be the solution to my problems but I’m so grateful that a movie like this can be made
Emma Thompson 演技精湛，真的太优秀了！
真的不愧是高端鸭终于理解为什么有人会花钱叫鸭了haha..以及女人高潮时真的会年轻啊真美，所有女生都应该看看这部，已经打算让我妈看看了
大概可以预期要表达什么。但真的话太多且低效……话痨片太看台词的文本质量了，演技氛围都不错但台词太普通了……男主真不错，有尹昉内味儿。
爱岗敬业 美鸭典范。除此以外，电影对两个主角的自我价值认同及身体欲望的探讨都是一种脱离实际的臆想。男主在独处时永远会照镜子，到底是自我审视，还是自我凝视？如果所有人都认同电影所构建的价值观，便不存在说艾玛汤普森的出镜是一种牺牲，悖论就在这里。四星是给帅哥的。
“找到你的快乐，并尊重它”——为了寻找那期待已久的人生“性高潮”55岁的寡居的她招了一个20多岁的帅哥开房与自己享受那瞬间完美。这是一部“做”而论道的电影🎦——网盘下载外挂字幕第一刷。
低成本空间，高密度台词，循规蹈矩的压抑，和唯一冒过的险，最终还是取悦自己更重要。妙在选角本身的气质，换掉其中任何一个人，这个故事就不成立了。
哈哈哈群众眼睛是雪亮的，不论性别，并不存在这么敬业的技师和这么诚实不自信的甲方
从becky开始 我就狂笑 一直到im glad you“came” 最后居然哭了 看着emma Thompson抚摸自己的身体 欣慰的一笑。
。
Leo 是 good luck，Nancy 是 take care。不管怎样，又是一部再过100年我们也拍不出来的电影吧
非常有趣的选题，像一个都市童话。我们亚洲人日常以为欧美人自由开放，实际上世界女性大同，大家都有自己的年代痕迹和被女性身份束缚的门槛，并不能像男性那样随心所欲。南希那种渴望打破常规又局促不安的心理表现得太好了。里奥很有魅力，令人舒适，但是对比现实生活就显得有点乌托邦。取悦自己、与自己和解是女性毕生的课题。
this is so wholesome
如果说Daryl的肉体惊艳了我，那Emma的演技则让我佩服到五体投地...how could she be so perfectly beautiful, vulnerable and satisfied at the same time...Emma身体上的每一条皱纹都让我看到了岁月能带给人的智慧和美好
talking..太贴心充满抚慰，寻欢作乐并没什么不对，毕竟付费了的
我无法开心地看待这个片子：女人的独白/忧虑/恐惧全部都是真实的，但除了这些，所有都是不真实的：没有这样的男人，过度浪漫化的sex work。对我来讲这是一部色彩缤纷的电影，像糖果一样，但是你不能给受困于饥饿的人吃糖，你懂吗？they never tell the Bside: whether they pretend its not there or they just dont care. They are denying the Bside.
