500 years of marriage is enough.
David Ruehm‘s Therapy for a Vampire is set for release in limited theaters through Music Box June 10th.
Bloody Disgusting now has the official theatrical one-sheet to go along with a U.S. trailer.
Patrick Cooper called the film “A clever two-fanged comedy” out of the Fantasia Film Festival premiere. Yes, that’s his quote on the poster!
“Therapy for a Vampire (or, Der Vampir auf der Couch) takes relentless jabs at vampire lore and, most piercing of all, relationships and the vicissitudes of marriage. It does so in an invigorating way with heaps of wit to spare. But don’t worry, it’s not all top hats and snappy quips. There is enough blood splashed around to paint the walls.”
In the film starring Tobias Moretti, Jeanette Hain, Cornelia Ivancan and Dominic Oley, “Vienna, early 1930’s. One fine evening, Sigmund Freud has a new patient on his couch – a mysterious count who can no longer bear the “eternally long” relationship with his wife. The vain countess incessantly complains about not being able to look at herself in a mirror, the count tells the professor. Unaware of the fact that the count and his wife are vampires, Freud introduces his mysterious patient to a younger painter, Viktor, who paints portraits that express more than a mirror ever could. While visiting the painter, the count takes an instant shine to Viktor’s girlfriend Lucy – more so than Viktor and the countess would like.”
