A number of directors were tied 261 00:09:46,804 --> 00:09:49,583 to Vampire and Venice production. From what I've 262 00:09:49,583 --> 00:09:51,903 read from different accounts, there were 2 in 263 00:09:51,903 --> 00:09:54,157 the director's chair who were actually paid off 264 00:09:54,295 --> 00:09:55,831 before August gust Ka, 265 00:09:57,165 --> 00:09:57,484 who 266 00:09:58,441 --> 00:10:00,035 did the the bulk of the proceedings. 267 00:10:00,449 --> 00:10:02,847 And he actually quit leaving Kin to clean 268 00:10:02,847 --> 00:10:04,924 up the mess of all things. And as 269 00:10:04,924 --> 00:10:06,762 we've learned, I I think Kin has an 270 00:10:06,762 --> 00:10:09,215 un accredited director to or credit, but 271 00:10:10,692 --> 00:10:12,368 If you can be un credit and credited. 272 00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:15,801 But if by all accounts, he actually directed 273 00:10:15,801 --> 00:10:17,398 and you you would think with him being 274 00:10:17,398 --> 00:10:18,915 such an Ego Man act that's not out 275 00:10:18,915 --> 00:10:19,881 of his a wheelhouse. 276 00:10:20,515 --> 00:10:22,971 As we've learned, I guess with few exceptions, 277 00:10:23,130 --> 00:10:25,190 say, like, good night mommy your American Mary, 278 00:10:26,473 --> 00:10:28,219 horror films with a 2 headed monster, 279 00:10:28,854 --> 00:10:32,663 the director helm tend to suffer. However, However, 280 00:10:32,822 --> 00:10:33,218 however, 281 00:10:33,774 --> 00:10:34,940 a big bot here 282 00:10:35,379 --> 00:10:38,093 Vampire and Venice is kind of weirdly like 283 00:10:38,093 --> 00:10:40,727 touching and kind of affecting. And has moments 284 00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:43,442 of the dare beauty and and, really, I 285 00:10:43,442 --> 00:10:45,687 really dig the heavy gothic tonality. 286 00:10:46,641 --> 00:10:48,707 The critic Ken Newman whose books I have 287 00:10:48,707 --> 00:10:50,853 on my shelf is quite good at the 288 00:10:50,853 --> 00:10:52,616 for the for the most part. He said 289 00:10:52,616 --> 00:10:53,964 it best saying the film was it was 290 00:10:53,964 --> 00:10:55,709 a a strangely beautiful mess, 291 00:10:56,582 --> 00:10:58,644 but an oddly poetic take on Va prism. 292 00:10:58,961 --> 00:11:00,072 I think that's pretty accurate. 293 00:11:00,964 --> 00:11:02,962 Another thing I learned was that Kin wall, 294 00:11:03,201 --> 00:11:04,021 I mean, his 295 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,877 behavior was boo across the board, but he 296 00:11:06,877 --> 00:11:08,715 also refused to shave his head for the 297 00:11:08,715 --> 00:11:11,280 role So he's basically rocking a weird 90 298 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,829 era Bon Jo Bob, which is which is 299 00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:15,603 odd. But I think everything is mostly 300 00:11:16,139 --> 00:11:18,232 held together by just the 301 00:11:18,544 --> 00:11:19,740 grounded ness and, 302 00:11:21,096 --> 00:11:24,127 leading presence of Christopher Plum, who's just dynamite 303 00:11:24,127 --> 00:11:25,882 here in the in the role of professor 304 00:11:26,041 --> 00:11:29,725 Catalan. He's so good. Just capturing the environment 305 00:11:29,725 --> 00:11:32,198 and giving it a real, like, a sense 306 00:11:32,198 --> 00:11:32,698 of, 307 00:11:33,156 --> 00:11:36,143 getting in grounding and presence and seriousness, 308 00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:38,610 and you know, it may be a little, 309 00:11:39,224 --> 00:11:41,872 slow moving to some, but I really like 310 00:11:41,929 --> 00:11:45,152 the the dark prints and the dark waters 311 00:11:45,209 --> 00:11:48,179 and in the venetian canals and the palaces 312 00:11:48,715 --> 00:11:52,562 and the protracted over the top port lines 313 00:11:52,714 --> 00:11:55,969 and I really, really thought Kin really gave 314 00:11:55,969 --> 00:11:57,875 it all in the role as well much 315 00:11:57,875 --> 00:11:59,701 like he did in Proud the vampire by 316 00:11:59,781 --> 00:12:02,680 Her. He's dynamite here. This is a dynamite 317 00:12:02,816 --> 00:12:04,883 film, and I think very under the radar 318 00:12:04,883 --> 00:12:07,904 and very underappreciated because, yes, a number of 319 00:12:07,904 --> 00:12:10,051 people have called it to muddled and mud 320 00:12:10,051 --> 00:12:13,345 and silly and difficult to follow, which, undoubtedly 321 00:12:13,345 --> 00:12:15,985 is, but it's also quite just spectacular and 322 00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:16,704 has its moments. 323 00:12:17,424 --> 00:12:19,598 And it makes you wonder how things would 324 00:12:19,598 --> 00:12:22,715 fared if a more conventional director was in 325 00:12:22,715 --> 00:12:24,952 the chair and not the people who are 326 00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:26,311 tasked to do this 1. But I'm gonna 327 00:12:26,311 --> 00:12:27,922 give this a solid 3 and a half 328 00:12:27,922 --> 00:12:29,916 out of 5. It's definitely in the upper 329 00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:32,309 third tier of a vampire film. So I 330 00:12:32,309 --> 00:12:33,904 think you'll enjoy it too. I hope you 331 00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:35,579 enjoy this sort of shorter version of the 332 00:12:35,579 --> 00:12:37,849 show so we're gonna get back to things 333 00:12:37,909 --> 00:12:39,827 next week to a little longer form, and 334 00:12:39,827 --> 00:12:41,185 we'll talk you soon. Take care.
