«So many fantasies have grown up around her.»
Vampires have descended on Vienna with nefarious intent. Eager criminologists, vampirologists and psychologists soon
gather at the scene, determined to avert a disaster. They seem unlikely to succeed. Ulrike Ottinger's ironic venture into
the vampire genre, THE BLOOD COUNTESS, has its roots in an extended journey from Berlin to Vienna. The bizarre and gruesome
places she discovered on the way provide the visually impressive backdrop for a satirical exploration of the city’s dark depths
and the unfathomable power of evil.
