«I pondered the great risk of our questions, the risk of any question that is truthfully asked; for the answer must carry an incalculable price, a tragic danger. Who knew that better than I, who had presided over the death of my own body, seeing all I called human wither and die only to form an unbreakable chain which held me fast to this world yet made me forever its exile, a specter with a beating heart?»


So incredibly breathtaking and heartbreaking.

I’ve never watched the movie, so I knew nothing about this story on beforehand. My (wrongful) impression was that it was campy and eerie, a sort of B-grade take on the whole vampire genre. Instead I’m met with a grave and emotionally heavy story of guilt, existential anxiety, and insurmountable loneliness. It feels like Frankenstein «expectations vs. reality» all over again. This beautiful tragedy is definitely a new favorite of mine. Consider my heart broken and my mind fed:’)
