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".
3.5 不是一般传记片的套路，演绎的成分不少。有真情流露的地方，但始终没有完全打动我。整体矫揉造作的成分稍有点多。但配乐摄影服装造型是真的撑住了，加分很多。ps 我以后的人生梦想就是拥有片中这个浴室！
我有点共情不了戴安娜，反倒是觉得做她的下人应该很辛苦，人家也不过是来打个工，还要被她这么三天两头的无端搞事情…还是傅雷那句话，没有经历苦难的超脱是轻佻的。
虽然是套路性的东西，但没有不合理的东西，接受起来很轻松，院线上映至少也能拿个6分吧，唉~加油
看过《王冠》，但这是B面戴安娜——Spencer。不是传统的人物传记片，勾勒出一个爱而不得被吞噬爱吃杏仁酥的女性，在外人看来是疯癫，实则是在自救而已。
就像是一场焦虑抑郁的噩梦展现，整部电影都围绕着这个噩梦展现起承转合的节奏，整体流畅之际，吞食珍珠、钳破肉体的臆想在前中段仿佛【梦之安魂曲】般渴望癫狂与失控，而最终在换装与舞蹈的快剪里走向了相反的释放，从电影来讲导演在最后的结局表达是明亮的，“爱你的不止我一个”也正是这种明亮让整部电影更加饱满圆润，K的表演与电影的节奏铺陈完美融合，她不是在演黛安娜，她深知这不是一部单纯的纪录片，而是一部纯粹具像化黛安娜心理的抽象艺术，因此她演的是一种情绪，这种情绪随着剧情变化不断展现着黛安娜内心的高低起伏，比起直接讲述黛安娜生平，这部电影更能让你直观的感受黛安娜在皇室生活中经历了什么（k真的很适合表演情绪，这些年一直如此，且每次看完都会感觉与电影完美融合，其表演绝对是反学院的，但又更为极致与灵动）
轻喜剧，虽然就认识一个刑冬冬，但其他演员也都不赖
Larraín的传记片位置尴尬。史实参考价值不如电视纪录片，论艺术造诣，远不及索库洛夫，即使是情感真实，也被操纵感过强的对白和场景设置削弱了。卡司团表现上乘，Stewart迎难直上遁入黑暗的精神可嘉，冲奥是小事，别烙下病根就好。
Jonny 太出彩了，bass, jazz, 还有你从未在此里最后下楼梯那个榔头声，也是在楼梯拐角出现了。居然是peaky blinder的编剧！！！tragedy of a woman. 跳舞和奔跑那段😭 就不是很英式端庄吧，但也是特意的选择，现代、叛逆、美式（开始和孩子在卧室说话声音的不放松）从一开始就很压抑。昨天又看信条感觉女主也是差不多的境遇。音乐一直到credit结束。各种风格都有了。credit刚开始的时候钢琴弹得很用力 已经听到琴槌声了。出教堂那段的音乐真的浑身鸡皮疙瘩。牛仔裤很好看hhh
这并不是一部传记片，而是戴安娜崩溃极值的三日一瞥。周遭人眼中的戴安娜，夹杂着残存的高不可攀、发自心底的怜悯、冰冷卑微的善意、恫吓伪装下的援手。而惊慌失措的戴安娜，灵魂早已被掏空。可从另一个视角，极端的压抑，却给了戴安娜真正的选择机会。她饿疯了一般啃着鸡腿，却也从心底怜悯着雉鸡。她知道雉鸡终究会死于非命，却依旧冲出躺着雉鸡尸体的小路，义无反顾地开车离去，带着儿子们，吃着鸡腿，做回斯宾塞。可能从外貌相似度上，会有更贴近戴安娜的女演员，但发生在克里斯汀·斯图尔特身上，那些耀眼又残忍的镁光灯痕迹，是太多人无法触达的，这是专属于她们的精神领域。尤其是在优秀的莎莉·霍金斯、蒂莫西·斯波面前，小K完全接的住情绪，极大的进步。导演帕布罗·拉雷恩与作曲强尼·格林伍德、摄影克莱尔·马松的携手，视听效果无懈可击。
前十分钟戴安娜换了个车牌？
Omg,it’s so fucking dull.🥲🙃这电影完全属于绣花枕头一包草了就是说
安妮博林的典故是点睛之笔。
戴安娜有的是抑郁症，但绝不是精神分裂and躁郁症，小k演的戴安娜像个gai溜子，感觉下一秒就要把自己头发剪光跑去森林里跟爱德华满树林爬。小k第一幕在车里好好看，结果一张口一耸肩说话我就想打她，这个口音太奇怪了而且戴安娜是一天要抽十包烟的烟嗓吗！老娘忍了一整部戏捏妈。选角太失败了郭采洁演戴安娜都比小k演得好。 小k应该去演美国精神病人，就是以为自己是戴安娜（英国人）并且一直学英国人口音的美国人。（《美国恐怖故事2》新版）
像新浪潮，让人想到《随心所欲》和安娜·卡里娜，情绪化的身姿，孩子气一般随遇而安，空无一人的布景，结合上跳接和大头像特写，很是抽象和形而上。不同于典型的年代剧，而是借题发挥，琢磨现代人不得不作为“工具”的困境。电影没有刻意渲染物质文明的腐臭，反之自然也并不总意味着包容和治愈，人到头来只能活在不断地自我调适中，在看似幼稚天真的外壳下，导演有意无意间抒发的情感深沉而复杂。
小k塑造的Diana美丽又脆弱，妆发首饰每一个造型都很精致， 从开头到结尾每一个细节都在表达Diana有多不快乐，关在笼子里的金丝雀，外表再华丽都掩饰不住内心已死的事实。
我是被女主讲话的方式，她的“喘息声”劝退的，直接删了！
吃了虚假安利去看的，看完只感觉浪费了两个小时，单单就整个故事来说，他是合格的，逻辑圆的上，该有的伏笔包袱也都有，但也就仅此而已了。因为没有看过毛骗，所以很多梗和笑点完全get不到，整个过程仿佛在看一篇平白直叙的流水账作文，太过寡淡了。
我为什么又尝试来看KS演戏……她演妈妈像孩子们的酷酷表姐
电影拍得很用力，皇室规矩太多不自由，小K很美，戴妃婚姻不幸福，不快乐，没了。其实跳出来看，难道最应该心疼的是女王，这么多年，国内国外，家里家外，糟心的事这么多，谁来心疼女王？
皇家芭比。国民玩偶。连服装师都无权选自己称心的。其实老公出轨什么的，真的还在其次，那种“我”的无处安置和完全消失，才是痛苦的根源，整个系统没有谁在乎你的感受，只拿你当妥妥的工具，把你展示在风光的橱柜里。贵为王妃，内里也不过是个缺爱的小女孩而已。看到她寝宫的窗帘被缝上的一刻，我在画外也感到了等量的窒息。而带着两个儿子飞奔出宫的一刻，忍不住替她飙泪。暮光女的戴妃只能停留于静态欣赏，一旦动起来，肢体和仪态太尴尬了，驼背耸肩缩脖子，啊……这是香奈儿也修正不了的灾难。
