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".
过于私人化。完全是对于80年代的个人想象，真正那个年代的模样参考侯麦。
没有经历，所以难以怀念。上世纪80年代的巴黎，和现在有什么不同呢？床上抖动的镜头，塞纳河畔的微风，图书馆里的偶遇，许多文艺的片段拼凑起了这个电影，观影时情感的触动，但是之后似乎没有留下什么。
看这部电影的一天是工作最忙的一天 忙着scb的事情 gdbc的合并 下午开了一下午会 晚上了边工作边看 晚安😴
加法太多了，奇妙的发现本片中的讽刺都指向本片。
1984-1988，对柏林墙那边的人而言或许仍是一个压抑的年代，但在巴黎，却如此美好。很喜欢四人起舞的那段，以及这首Et si tu n'existais pas
剧本杀式的剧情和展开，若是都能说成开创了一种电影的新类型，那电影的本质和地位可能需要都重新评估。
电影里有段台词，刀仙和小师妹，双剑合璧杀妖怪。没有逐梦演艺圈，只有复仇和家国大义。
回忆起米夏埃尔的影片应该都会带着一层色彩滤镜，《阿曼达》是婴儿蓝，《巴黎夜旅人》是午夜蓝。现在就算是巴黎老太太也不会这么慢地讲话了，他的电影里都是现代陌生的巴黎，老电影熟悉的巴黎。
直面了生活中那些沉重的不堪的难过的经历 都好像是被反复揉碎 好像在电影里又没有那么痛苦和绝望 只感受到了温柔 就像在黑暗中被一束光照亮
它并不是完美的，但它已经在有限条件下，尽己所能做到了最好。
电影大概从侧面证明了剧本杀是个多么无聊的游戏？以及我们是不是缺乏有基本剪辑素养的人才啊？
原来是这么表面的故事啊。好不容易得到一份工作的她收留了寒风夜晚无家可归的她 然后他说他爱她 她说她懂他爱她 白天作为图书馆员的她 又被他观察着爱着 她吸毒 她救赎 就meh Talulah的长相我好喜欢 不光黑发 酷劲也有点Krysten Ritter 穿插的80年代胶片画质挺喜欢的 不过每次看到妈妈的演员还是跳戏到女性瘾者对不起
颇多惊喜的新片。电台夜旅人、灯火星星点点夜色温柔、穿插的家庭录像带似的复古影像、圆月映花都的引用……80s家庭温情的怀旧情绪在一次次夜与昼的转换中发酵。
它在年尾上映，仿佛呼应了年初的《刺杀小说家》，也可以改叫《追杀电影人》。
oh Talulah的脸蛋。好的电影就是【文化输出】，好的电影就是【观众也会陪角色爱上另一个角色】，好的电影就是【忘掉时间不知不觉到了尾声却感觉没怎么眨过眼】。在巴黎是不是真的很容易找到爱做？总之八十年代的巴黎好像一颗黄金大块。相比十六岁时，中老年的甘斯布虽然不是我的菜但天生丽质的确不怕时光考验。还是要再说一嘴Talulah的脸精美的像是仿生羊电子人。
荧光，音乐，塞纳河畔的夜色的加持给普通但温情的故事增添了一丝让人向往的平淡和美好。想起了好梦一日游和午夜巴黎，或许每个人都有属于自己的黄金年代。
不是致敬了迷影的东西都是好东西，也不是说它抛出了电影行业(特指国内电影行业)的很多梗和金句它就是佳品。
极度温柔的电影。夏洛特演得真好。家装和主角的那间公寓简直是人生理想。大量胶片拍摄的空镜，私密又充满时代感，最终成为了写给巴黎的情书。
虽然这部电影借女性角色为女性说了几句漂亮话，但是在很重要的动机方面，给出的理由是歌女被大人物性虐待，需要用碎尸的手段来保住她的名节，在场的人都觉得很合理且信了，这是很保守也很矛盾的。
李家辉等人既借助电影揭露了黑幕，同时也没有破坏齐乐山的计划。
