A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

There is something weird and eerie going on in the oneiric Iranian ghost-town Bad City.

A mysterious female vampire, clad in a long-black veil, imbued with occult and erotic power, has newly arrived in town and is summarily dispensing with its unsavory characters.

Through a chance encounter in a night of luminal darkness, an eternally dark romance begins - baptized in love's blood.

Shot in dazzling anamorphic black and white cinematography and accompanied with an intoxicating and mesmeric soundtrack, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature film 'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night' (2014), was an instant popular and critical success.

This book provides a unique approach to the film situated within three theoretical coordinates: the vampire genre, psychoanalytic (film) theory, and German Idealism.
