Greven

Gennem et tykt lag satire tegner ’El Conde’ et tragikomisk og usympatisk portræt af diktatoren, der ser sig selv som et misforstået offer.

...demonstrates a palate for mordant humour as refined as the count’s taste for blood.

...bloody good satire.

...black-and-white compelling visual experience reminiscent of Hammer classics with a hint of Nosferatu thrown in.

This wickedly funny, blood-soaked portrait of a decaying tyrant hits streaming on the week of the 50th anniversary of Pinochet’s coup against President Allende.

Luchsinger may be one of El Conde’s standout performers, but there is still plenty to look at and listen to when she’s not on screen. Edward Lachman’s digital black-and-white cinematography is striking.
