ANA LILY AMIRPOUR

A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT (2014)
Starring Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Marshall Manesh, Mozhan Marnò, Dominic Rains, Rome Shadanloo, Milad Eghbali, Reza Sixo Safai, Ray Haratian and Ana Lily Amirpour. Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour.

Dubbed the first Iranian Vampire Western, Amirpour’s take of the blood- sucking archetype is anything but prescriptive. For one thing, her vamp is a sassy loner who roams the streets on a skateboard she stole from a kid. In her stripy shirt and ‘60s eyeliner she could be straight out of the Velvet Underground, the only difference being her bat-like chador flowing in the nocturnal breeze. The unsuspecting object of her affections is Arash, a handsome James Dean type. He is dealing with his own family issues and in the off-kilter world they inhabit, a touching and unconventional relationship develops.
