They both gradually “let the right one in,” although whether their choices result in positive or negative results is left up to the viewer to determine. In the same fashion, the film’s ending may be considered either terribly sad or indescribably charming, depending on the viewer’s perspective.
This film is starkly realistic, and certainly has its share of gory moments; but it is also a serious exploration of friendship, love, the maturation process, and the unspeakable abyss between the actual world of childhood and the sma
Bram Stoker's Dracula is filled with rich detail: the Turkish harem aspect of Dracula’s sexy-scary vampire brides, the contrasting personalities of Lucy’s three suitors [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the exquisitely portrayed blend of rage, defiance, and personal agony in Dracula’s repudiation of his Eastern Orthodox faith.
It’s baroque, over-the-top, sensual, and poignantly romantic. Some reviewers considered these attributes to be drawbacks; but vampire lovers flocked to the theaters anyway, making its opening the highest-ranking non-summer blockbuster of its time.
Combine this artist-as-predator motif with brilliant makeup, unbelievably beautiful costumes, and amazing special effects, and the viewer ends up with one of the most exotic and strangely compelling vampire films ever made.
Why would anyone seek out a limited-release, usually subtitled Swedish film that uses simple sound effects (yogurt-slurping to simulate blood-drinking) and is set in a Communist-influenced, 1970s-era Stockholm suburb? Because it’s absolutely the best vampire movie she’s probably never seen! Now available in a dubbed version, Let the Right One In follows the slow development of a friendship between bullied twelve-year-old loner Oskar and Eli, the odd nocturnal new girl in the neighborhood, who has been twelve for as long as she can remember.
Let the Right One In (2008)
The bloodsucking creature of mythology known as the vampire has inspired and mesmerized artists for centuries. In the universe of cinema, the vampire has too often been relegated to the shoddy, one-dimensional world of B-movies and low-budget gore fests. While there’s nothing wrong with the occasional guilty pleasure of blood-soaked, Grade Z escapism, real vampire fanatics need to sink their metaphorical fangs into more intellectually substantial fare from time to time. The following three movies have more to say than just the standard “rise, bite, stake, shriek” formula that renders so many vampire films more turgid than toothsome.
Of particular interest are the images of perennial rebel Dracula that connect him to the world of the artist [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the too-often addicted social outsider who may destroy personal relationships in his eternal quest for creative nourishment (think of Capote losing almost all of his friends after publishing excerpts of Answered Prayers). Dracula takes long-lost love, Mina, to drink absinthe in an artist’s café, visits an early movie theater [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and brings out the nascent eroticism in his “unfortunate” young victims.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Oskar is attracted to darkness, probably in reaction to his nearly constant torment by his truly repugnant schoolmates. He collects newspaper clippings of murder cases, and first meets Eli when she catches him threatening a tree while in full-tilt Travis Bickle imaginary revenge mode. When Eli loses her much older “assistant,” who may well once have been Eli’s childhood playmate himself, her relationship with Oskar undergoes a shift.
