1/13/2015 --- Ana Lily Amirpour’s debut feature guides us on a dreamlike walk on the wild side, into the nocturnal and sparsely populated underworld of “Bad City,” an Iran of the mind that nevertheless rings true. In a cool and brooding scenario that involves just a handful of characters, an alluring female vampire stalks potential victims with a judgmental eye—but isn’t immune to romantic desire when it presents itself in the form of a young hunk who’s looking for a way out of his dead-end existence.

Late to the party...sorry. This woman is amazing. Funny, geeky, awkward, but clearly very intelligent and hugely talented. And maybe a little in awe of Roger? Best of luck to her. Look forward to following what should be a very exciting career.

I loved so much this movie, it's like dessert after a long abstinence of sweets but again it's only appreciated when someone wants sugar, it sets the mood and the characters so well and the little details, the styling everything is so well made that you feel one of the residents of the city

I remember this from the DVD. Happy to find it posted here. I like what she says about preferring Robert Zemeckis over Jarmush.

Once again, an independent and artistic film that only proves why Hollywood cinema is more popular and accessible. Yes, I enjoyed certain aspects of the film. In fact, all the scenes with the vampire girl are fascinating, slow, exploratory, introspective and existential. But all the other scenes (or almost all) with the other characters are depressing, long and, ultimately, pointless. The director is obviously exceptional and I imagine that the years will improve her art like anyone else. The fact that her film is "independent" but that she prefers Zemeckis and Thriller made her immediately attractive to me. I only wish her film was more focused on the vampire girl and her story. And more commercial without necessarily losing its Kubrickian slowness.

i feel like she really doesnt want to assign meaning to it, like shes tiptoeing around the political imagery and the feminist undertones because she doesnt want to isolate audiences or pin one label to AGWHAAN. Its simultaneously all those things and none at all. Its a fairytale that audiences bring their own social, economical, historical, political experiences to, to create their own meaning.
