The Blood Countess
After ‘The Blood Countess’ (Isabelle Huppert) awakens from her long beauty sleep and emerges from the underworld, she and her devoted maid (Birgit Minichmayr) embark on a baroque quest through Vienna to recover the red elixir of life. The book, if found and read by the vampire’s enemies, threatens their vampire realm… Hot on their heels are a vegetarian nephew (Thomas Schubert), his psychotherapist (Lars Eidinger), two vampirologists, a police inspector, and more lively characters in this twisted and humorous vampire tale.
“Premiering out of competition at the Berlinale, the lush, ludicrous, often laugh-out-loud result looks likely to be the most widely distributed film of her career, also offering ample enjoyment to camp aficionados unfamiliar with the director’s work.”
“Isabelle Huppert as a hungry, horny, haute couture-inclined incarnation of Báthory, there’s a devoted audience for whom it will go very far indeed.”
– Guy Lodge, Variety
