The film, which screened as part of the Berlinale’s Encounters section, was written and directed by Julian Radlmaier.
Set in 1928, the film centers on a penniless Soviet refugee, who falls in love with an eccentric young vampiress, played by Lilith Stangenberg , spending the summer at the seaside with her awkward servant. During one of his forays, he meets the young factory owner Octavia Flambow-Jansen, who spends the summer at the seaside with her servant Jakob. The eccentric millionairess is intrigued by the mysterious refugee and offers him shelter in her luxurious mansion. He quickly falls in love with his dazzling hostess, much to the chagrin of the awkward Jakob, who also has a crush on the boss. A light summer romance is on the horizon—too bad that thirsty vampires are terrorizing the area.
ARRI Media International’s deputy head of sales and acquisitions, Moritz Hemminger, said that Radlmaier is “one of the most exciting young German filmmakers,” and has a “unique cinematic voice.” He added: “We are fully convinced that Crescendo House, being a new, cinephile, and innovative distribution outfit, is the perfect home for our ‘Bloodsuckers’ in North America.”
Oh, my. Looks like a vampire version of Last Year at Marienbad.
