Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
女全程肚子痛的看完，女主自己把铁签插进肚子，真的小腹绞痛。还有，女主被堕胎时，肚子痛到不行。没有男人有这种感受吧。还有在马桶上剪脐带，完全想象不出，女性的命运真的太悲惨了，女人当然有选择是否做母亲的权利，毋庸置疑！
“所有来到这里的人只追求一件事，但他们都不敢承认。”
笑点泪点和雷点都蛮密集的，整体上瑕不掩瑜。在这种背景下，讲这样一个故事，倒也算是生的应景。
难得在这样题材里性别的比重是均衡的，男性并不缺席，然而他们的在场也于事无补，于是自然地完成了性别的倾斜。珠玉在前，这一部里依旧能找到不错的切入角度，即文学与身体，充当文学实体的书籍与孕后的身体此消彼长，达成一种均衡，巧妙的切入口。
奥黛丽·迪万《正发生》
痛感比钛强百倍 一种只会攻击女人的病 会把女人变成家庭妇女的病
是自己曾经最喜欢的那类电影，精湛的剧作让场景被无数的细节推动，又很擅长运用电影的手段（e.g.流畅的镜头内调度和反打特写之间的突变，低频的、接近心脏状态的声响效果），在局部显露那些情感的振荡、在整体揭示女孩内心和外部的迁移，让观众去真实地共情这个病态社会下的女性困境。这种文本和风格的高度统一，很容易联想起坎皮恩的手法（只是这次坎皮恩操作了一个心理结构）。至于一些更具体的所想，被一位友邻都写到了
弱社会处境化。在堕胎题材中，鲜少有以生殖与痛感角度去拍一个女性的社会遭遇，跟随摄影机去深入一个女性的生理结构与内心的苦痛，这显然得利于导演作为女性的存在。其实没什么好跟蒙吉比的，蒙吉身为男性导演，不可能去共情与理解怀孕女孩的生理痛苦，所以他的侧重点也就在于用摄影机制造出冰冷的影像空间，通过这个影像空间去影射堕胎女孩们的处境。拍法上来看，正发生的镜头设计并不好看，特写过于密集，整体影像空间是个体化而非整体化的，再加上画幅的比例制造出强烈的压迫感。但同时，这种被制造出来的压迫感又是真实的，隐形的痛，弥漫在闭塞的影像空间，这正是导演所追求的东西，还算前卫。
“流产”两字遁入耳中，手术台上的灯光如阳光般明媚照入女主往后的人生。从怀孕开始一直到流产的时间段组成了电影，在寻求帮助的过程中让人感受到周遭的漠视和恐惧，摄影一直用近特写瞄准女主，把女主的心理状态一览无余。一句“你别无选择”是当下正发生的现象，“这种只会袭击女人的病”把怀孕的果形容成淫乱的始，而这种“病”女人应该有选择治疗的权利。
实在是无聊至极！电影就像一个口水电影一般！典型的一个大号小品！前一秒埋包袱，下一秒就翻！
【芝加哥电影节】北美首映。没有传说中的”惊悚“，但也恰到好处。摄影非常出色，大部分镜头都是rack focus, 观众们跟随安妮的视角感受真真切切的疼痛。
导演很照顾观众的情绪，所以把残忍的那段放在了最后，见识了钛里面用刀猛戳自己下体来破坏那玩意儿，这片已经痛不到我了。我说过我永远喜欢法国电影，看法国女人就觉得女人还有希望，她们永远在谈论世界，谈论自己想做什么（与性别无关的话题）她们像人类一样谈论理想，这在中国还是好莱坞的电影里都很少看到（几乎也没）
讲述了上世纪60年代一位法国年轻女性想要夺回自己身体控制权的斗争故事，当时依旧浓烈的宗教社会系统氛围的冷漠着实令人心寒。几年之后，她们中的很多人将走上街头。

这个也太流水命题作文了 而且看到的还是意大利语配音版。。。。
“正发生”、文学系政治系
Evgueni & Sasha Galperine配乐
没有政治化堕胎权这个敏感议题，而是全神贯注讲述一个女孩的堕胎努力。真实、裸露、直接、柔性刚强。女孩堕胎的过程也正是她成长为女人的过程，片名“正发生”很契合波伏娃的《第二性》。
【Sundance 2022】冷静的、直接的、血淋淋的，彼时此刻依然正发生的故事。（想把隔壁的《珍妮热线》再减掉一颗星）
苍白单薄的电影。在表现上半身和下半身之间游移。
