Residents of a worn-down Iranian city, a place that reeks of death and loneliness, encounter a skateboarding vampire (Sheila Vand) who preys on men who disrespect women.
... the film, shot in high-contrast black-and-white widescreen almost entirely at night, is like an Iranian film noir by way of a crime drama with supernatural edges.
Amirpour's debut feature is striking and excellent, though sometimes too self-congratulatory and too much in love with its cultural references. But one thing is for sure; Amirpour is on her way to becoming a great director.
There's not much story to speak of, but the semi-Iranian hipster feminist vampire romance A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is gorgeous to behold and up to its jugular vein in quirky/spooky atmosphere.
Amirpour - shooting in black-and-white widescreen in southern California, for a little extra unreality - has built a marvellous world that offers room to wonder about the characters and their lives.
