In an Iranian ghost-town, a place that reeks of death and loneliness, the townspeople are unaware they are being stalked by a vampire
About this Event

dir. Ana Lily Amirpour / 2014 / 101 min. / Persian w/ English subtitles

The first Iranian Vampire Western, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave. Amped by a mix of Iranian rock, techno and Morricone-inspired riffs, its airy, anamorphic, black-and-white aesthetic and artfully drawn-out scenes combine the simmering tension of Sergio Leone with the surrealism of David Lynch.

This October Stray Cat programmers chose five Fang Favorite to immortalize the holiday season. Prepare to feast on blood, seduction, and a whole lot of angst!
