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".
关于故友的第二次葬礼。中段情绪满到受不了，忍不住按下了暂停键，回想起自己也有类似的时候，在他人的身上寻找到了故人的影子，在朦胧间以假定的另一个视角去看待同样的经历，只是对方打开那扇蓝色大门之后的心绪，始终只存在于想象。于是就这样游走在乱序的、仿若是他人的记忆中，在客观和冷静里失去了自己的记忆，情感方才爆发。缺点是“情感的开头”稍显儿戏，但除了那个部分之外，其他都还蛮不错的——关于“自己”的叙述缺失，是因为描摹中的“对方”是如此细腻。不同的摄影载体轮换间，岸井雪乃也真的展现出了属于演员本身的魅力。4.5归4。
其实我想打2星。电影节奏非常非常非常慢，就她真的真的慢吞吞在走的那种，还走很长一段。后1小时用快进看完，不惜错过配乐，一直到店长离世，才让まな和电影都往前走了一步。巨细靡遗的情感意识捕捉，然而两人就是不肯说。比如猫咪钱包。不说出来就无法继续这道理你要懂！反而是对海啸事件的缅怀，电影在这部分的切入点值得反思。没什么zzzq的judgement，只单纯是幸存者对逝去者的记忆，就想日常每个人对过去的怀旧那样。
已六年未推出电影长片的让-皮埃尔·热内，将与御用编剧纪尧姆·洛朗再携手，拍摄Netflix法语科幻片[巨型漏洞](Big Bug，暂译)。影片将对人工智能展开讨论，会是一部充满机器人元素的喜剧影片。该片计划于明年4月-5月拍摄。
生活中的大小细节都由机器人来完成，这是要表现机器人的强悍，还是人类懒惰后的愚蠢！
还有芯片不是还在吗？为什么家里的机器人好像只是修好的？邻居的机器人好像还连修都没修？
献给那些曾死于非命的朋友。鸡权笼罩了一个黑暗的世界，神都要怕让三分。+0.5节奏很舒服，平缓演绎出真实历史事件。
说实话，这个创意简直满分，要论想象力还的是法国人厉害
哈哈哈哈，脑洞可以，都可以编入黑镜系列了，居家机器人是真的很忠于主人忠于人类，好不容易用阴谋阳谋赢了一台大兵机器人，结果。。。结尾有点无厘头但还挺合理。再次印证了，人类不是文明，文字才是。
让导典型的《天使爱美丽》式的高色彩饱和度，一出荒诞剧。
这种表达方式让人心生厌烦，看着特别累，很难跟着入戏，也没心情去理解导演想表达的东西了
尤其对比🔒♀，当地多轮版本的公告，对于影片的感受也许更为强烈感受。他们拍的不仅仅是波兰的事情，也是我们这片土地存在的事情。
人物视角转换实在是没有达到预期效果，内容有点少，节奏实在是有问题，保持片长就要充实内容，要么就剪掉半小时。大海、原声带和动画的加成实在让我无法忍心给低分。
剧情蛮无聊的。不过海报设计的不错 🈶️寓意。
虽然两个人kiss了但内心根本姬不起来啊。把311也归过进来是不是也太偷懒了点。一星给id。
不错的喜剧片呀，脑洞大，但是预计这样的未来生活也不远了，感觉法国电影很多这种群像闹剧，好精彩也有探索感，稀饭，
怀着很高的期待看的，剧情实在是无聊，科幻做的也蛮塑料的，感觉不像是个2022年的片子。
还行，就是最后突然变成幸福四口之家也太突然了。明明之前互相都跟别人好着哈哈
法国片超群的美术已经牢记心底了，上一次见识到的就是《钛》。不过两部电影情节都不咋样。
有那么几句台词太真实了，骂人词穷恨不得脑袋里面花钱购买词库怼到爽，但，法式幽默真的给我一种有一出是一出的感觉。
非常单纯的“黑镜式”人工智能叛变故事，没怎么触及社会背景，也没太纠结人性阴暗，用热内一贯的荒诞恶趣味搭配儿童科幻级别的CG特效，乱炖出来这么个东西……拖沓是真拖沓，色调与运镜看着也是真舒服。
