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".
电影贯穿始终的拉锯和焦灼非常到位，让人feel for di a lot。再加上可以说是美感十足的摄影和构图，怎么也不至于六点几分。几乎同时释出的大女主spencer和大男主ttb，这个对比简直了，时常被你瓣儿的电影评分激起莫名的胜负欲。被诟病overacted，但同时我确实看到她那股子灵动了。相反加菲多少年演技也没太大长进，一激动就表情乱飞，之前在加菲身上感受到的少年感现在也只剩下木
运用各种方式进行过度的情绪堆积，却毫无故事和人物。看完只会觉得戴安娜是个"spoiled kid"，这才最可怕。胶片真美。
不是想象中的传记片，氛围营造得不错，K的演技明显被高估。
整部电影最可爱的地方就是女王的柯基还有他们打猎的时候那一群鸡毛
虽然很喜欢斯图尔特，但本片换年轻时的凯特.布兰切特，我们就能一睹真正的戴妃当年的风华，甚至会感同身受，为她流泪。表演情绪没有一次是刺心的，虽然小K已经很努力了。
看完了想吃炸鸡。我不太理解为什么奔跑舞蹈显得那么突兀，感觉预告片里的一段原封不动出现在电影里，形式上有些生硬。感觉拍吃的拍的特别符合情绪，军队运输的水果，奶油里的珍珠，以及冰柜里直接用手抓起来的蛋糕明确地串起来精神状态和压力。
且不说王冠珠玉在前，并不是每个观众都熟读并背诵英国皇家那些事儿的好吗？上来就指望观众共情是不是太贪心了/色调好舒服
虽然很喜欢斯图尔特，但本片换年轻时的凯特.布兰切特，我们就能一睹真正的戴妃当年的风华，甚至会感同身受，为她流泪。表演情绪没有一次是刺心的，虽然小K已经很努力了。
可是就是略略无病呻吟+矫揉造作+神经质+莫名其妙，有点过了。
本来挺期待的但挺烂的，故事好空好陈旧，隐喻全浮于表面，我也不是说要追求一个贼像的黛安娜但这个已经不是黛安娜了，安妮博林一出现就好假，真就没一点新东西。唯一好看的是裙子，太美了，还可以再换几条。
「永不凋零的玫瑰」也许是戴安娜在我心中的形象过于美好，所以无论是谁来演她，我都会觉得不够美亦或缺少神韵，即便是小K姐这样的大美女也不例外。但是客观的讲，这一次她已经表现的足够好了。电影从一开场就有一种抓着我们的东西，无论是3:2的画幅还是古典的色调，都像极了90年代初期的作品。内容上也没有落入传记电影的俗套，而只是选取她离婚前三天的一些片段，从这一焦点事件去解读他的性格与人生，很个性的表达。其实，我们往往过于关注戴安娜的王妃身份，却常常忽略了她只是一位妻子和母亲。她有自己的梦，想拥有爱情，想过普通人的生活，想把全部的爱都倾注于丈夫和孩子，可却偏偏事与愿违，让她遇到查尔斯这样一个绝世渣男。最终婚姻的破裂也许对王室来讲是蒙羞，可是对这个女人而言，却是解脱。因为不向命运低头的女子，才永远是最美的。
温莎后宫·冷妃传。可是啊在历史的记载中，那种蚀骨剜心的痛苦大概都占不到一个字节。
切入点是可以的，然而在如今这个时代只会让人emmmm，害
实际可以三星，但第一夫人珠玉在前，要扣一星。导演层面其实和第一夫人的套路几乎一样，区别在于剧本和女主的表演。剧本上难度其实更大，第一夫人有意外事件作为引领和引爆叙事的动机，也保留了一定的悬念，结构很像红白蓝的《蓝》，人物旅程比较清晰、可预见。本片则没有这样的动机，且人物是被困在原地没有动也不能动的，叙事肯定更难处理。剧本做了最大程度的努力，结尾破题也不错，可以算是及格。问题确实在女主身上。波特曼的表演和Jackie的角色也神经质和端着，但波特曼的度明显拿捏得更好。暮光女不仅有过度表演的问题，状态也不够松弛（表演状态和角色状态是可以分开的），再加上蹩脚的口音和模仿痕迹。这些细节最后造成了观感的天差地别，不得不说是表演决定成败的典型案例。
在库布里克般的对称图和推拉式的跟拍镜头下，构建出了某种仪式的牢笼和追踪逃亡的路径，视听上的双重压迫将电影的质感升格为了两小时的panic attack。
就格局小，就逮着三天拍，就放着皇家舒芙蕾不吃闹别扭，怎么着了，就爱看这种“切片标本”式的电影。2022年了，还闹着看跨度一二十年的大弧光史诗感电影？太1.0了吧，就问，土不土啊，腻不腻啊？
要用三天的短暂时间线轻巧地揭开黛安娜压抑孤独的婚后生活，需要主角非常绵密细腻的心理表现，小K的表现起码90分以上。我猜豆瓣分应该不会匹配烂番茄的，看中国吃瓜群众有多共情王室痛恨梅根就知道了😅
C+ / 在一个个对于“戴安娜”的镜头定格下，浮夸又撕扯的表演形成了角色内外两面的搏斗，因此最后一幕的存在是十分必要的，“斯宾塞”作为“戴安娜”的内在灵魂终于从皇室的躯壳中逃逸，换取墙外的自由，而K的表演也褪去了矫揉造作的刻意感。
一开始看感觉是塑造了一个强迫症的世界，而戴安娜是个误入的手足无措的小女孩。不过接着看下去，其实工作人员都很有人情味的，而且事实上对她都是非常友善和包容。还有独舞的片段演的太失败了，尤其是还有童年对照，演的就是她想蹦野迪的肢体。把戴安娜不幸的出口寄托于父亲、祖宅、旧时光、中产生活，创作者太一厢情愿了，一种美国人的简化同理心的想象，好像开车唱歌吃肯德基就会快乐。
所幸摘下珍珠项链后，所有的封印被解开，人物爆发出的生机活力也足够动人。她说爱她的片刻，在短暂的震惊后看见她们相视而笑，会突然记起鲜活的人应该是怎样的。
