With every date with her boyfriend, a woman feels a little more awkward
- but not because he's lusting after her and she wants to remain pure, as
she first suspected, but because she's a descendant from a line of
European vampires, as she only now finds out. And the weird feeling comes
from her lusting for her boyfriend's blood. Soon enough, her vampire
master shows up, too, but he's a mighty conflicted character, especially
when he finds out he cannot control the girl let alone be with her, even
after he has decapitated her boyfriend, and that's what eventually
threatens to break him ... Above synopsis might not be entirely
accurate, as Sanguivorous is not exactly a narrative feature but an
experimental mood piece that seems to tell its story more as a by-product
- and that's not meant in a negative way, because this movie manages to
create a world all of its own through very atmospheric camerawork and
impressive performances, mixed with genre mainstays and the occasional
gore effect, all done with next to no on-screen sound (except for the
opening scenes) and scarce and spartan musical accompaniment. The result
is quite breathtaking, and while it might take a little patience to settle
in at first, but eventually becomes a quite fascinating trip as a whole. Recommended.
