El Conde

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

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

...bloody good satire.

The film absolutely works as an old-fashioned horror in an arthouse cape.

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.
