A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,
reportedly the first ever Iranian vampire western, watches like indie horror
raised on a steady diet of Tarantino and Sergio Leone movies. A spare, fresh
take on the blood sucker story, it’ll make a interesting double feature with
Jim Jarmusch’s 2014 entry into the genre, Only Lovers LeftAlive. In fact, Girl comes across as a younger,
twee companion to Lovers. The two are similar in mood, tone,
and movement, but while the former is like a night at a dance club, the latter
is more akin to a sparsely populated watering hole where you know the bartender
by name.
