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".
导演技法很清晰，用各种视听手段乱入来间离以达到一种更具时代普适性的表达，但爱情戏部分还是很让人沉浸。在时空重组上，还是更欣赏《过境》的化繁为简。错过《机遇之歌》来看的这场，满足的，可入选2021年新片观感前列。
4.法比安为女友写面试台词，女友深受感动，俩人隔着玻璃接吻，预示相爱的两人地位即将发生变化
时间有点太长，但其实没啥废话，包括各种穿插纪录片也挺恰到好处。本来以为是小年轻穷开心故事（虽然其实也差不多）似乎有些故意的魔幻“穿帮”比如画室外故意拍了地上的Stolpersteine“绊脚石”。基友家豪宅外景是密斯的Lemke Haus，内景似乎不是，但也很好看
我会因为封面海报而打开一部电影，比如这部。而恰巧看到正合胃口的一定很难，看10部电影不一定能看到一部你非常喜欢的，但看100部一定可以？而我看了前面99部就是为了等这一部。但真tm受不了落差巨大感的be啊，水面恢复平静的时候我的思绪翻江倒海，想吐。想哭。这烂透的世界和糟透了的生活。
啊男孩加歌厅，还有一些史诗感，现在浮躁的我3小时内没嫌闷，又一次不合时宜的汤希林合到当下我的时宜里
与火影忍者有有一定的相似之处，但是打斗场面和那个兄妹之间的那种感情，那是比较感人的，我觉得还是非常不错的，但唯一的就是他里面的主角确实牺牲比较大
【4】被混乱无序的氛围所笼罩，穿梭在城市或悲伤之间，你我皆为所处时代的幽灵，但每个人都可以是一部断代史。
之前下载一版先睹为快，但是没有声音，各种尝试未果，重新下载一版熟肉，在线也可以看，只是为了更清晰的截图，这样的电影🎦估计一遍不可能更理解。传统电影🎦画幅，还有各种镜头和对白的特色画外音融🈴了文学的特点。截图一遍硬盘投屏再一遍，多多益善。
与《巴比伦柏林》相同的时代背景，展现了两次世界大战中场休息期间的德国众生相。主角的身份设定和故事线可谓极具讽刺性的潦倒落魄：空负博士学位而失业，一路向下的人生轨迹，以至救人反溺水的结尾都很难称为高光时刻。然而正是在这样不堪的表象下，对爱和美的追求才显得格外动人。
相爱的人再也无法赴约 乱世之中 终究得到了 也永远失去了 思辨放进电影里 形成相悖的自然逻辑 顺理成章中见微尘
三星半。恰好最近在看《第三帝国的到来》，所以对本片还原纳粹上台前的德国还是比较期待的，但是除了德共、社民党、纳粹的几张海报，几句口号，几件褐衫军的制服充当符号外，并没有多太多的魏玛崩溃前夕的景观要素。不过好在影片对地下柏林的放纵生活、漫无目的又忧心忡忡的知识分子、一战老兵和失业人群的艰难处境的展现把握住了当时的时代精神。正如片名所写的那样，法比安是个不合时宜的人，较高的道德要求让他在混乱萧条的魏玛末期处处碰壁，直到最后他准备搁置道德要求重温旧梦也没能阻止走向终结。所以最后故事结局让他保持着良心入水救人，没有经历德三时期的苦难，是一种预示也是一种温柔
特殊年代下一个人的游荡史诗，生活多荒诞啊，爱的人无法长久，在乎的人早早离去，也许自己也不知道哪一天，就会魂断都市，不会被任何一个人在乎。一直觉得，人与人之间只要相识，无论关系是远是近，都该给予别人更多人性的爱抚；尽管频频被现实打脸、一次次因此受伤，依旧还是如此坚持着。我始终相信，会有同样温暖的一个人，能够用自己的星星之火，去点亮冰冷的人性，去唤醒无数的良知与灵魂。法比安只是一个时代的缩影，纵使他再是荒唐，起码敢爱敢恨，有自己对于生活的追求，从这一点来说，就已经强过太多人了。
前1/3的部分镜头画面表现很惊艳。
线上流媒体 豆瓣评分这部电影评分在8.2分左右
一开始觉得色调有些问题，越看越觉得，这种现代感，不就是当下吗？才华横溢的理想家死于卑鄙玩笑，将鲜嫩可口的爱人献给50多岁的老头，往亲人落魄的口袋里偷偷塞钱。我会每天下午3点都在咖啡馆等你，如果你不明白，我们的过去就没有意义。在一场又一场热切盲目的呼喊中口不能言，淹死我的不是河水，而是那颗仍抱有幻想的心。
11.2 被突如其来的结局吓哭了，呜呜呜，太绝望了吧！！！这部电影像散文，形散神不散那种，真要说快三个小时看的一点不急，那绝对是假的。但是每一个个场景真的都很带感啊。看完串在一起，草，太绝望了。女主莫名让我觉得神似宝拉贝尔，以至于一度我想不起来宝拉贝尔长什么样。看完电影，把俩人照片一比也不像啊（破案了，女主在无主之作里演的是男主姨妈，宝拉演男主女票，我当时就以为俩人一个人。两年半过去了，我还以为俩人是一个人）。汤姆西林都快四十了，还是好少年啊~~~
最心疼男妓院老鸨，希望自己有筹码慢慢推出去赢得欢心，被拒绝之后直接塞钱也还是无济于事。|原来不止我一个人有这样的想法，去对方的家乡，重新认识一个人
法比安好可爱，交不起房租领救济了都要给喜欢的女人买裙子。近三个小时却不觉得无聊。
三十年代德国一个小知识分子的混乱生活。超闷。
从《无主之作》到《亚历山大广场》，德国导演似乎很喜欢拍摄这类长篇的电视电影。前半段眼花缭乱的技法活灵活现地勾画出30年代魏玛共和国时期的纸醉金迷氛围，令人赞不绝口。可惜后半段逐渐转向痴男怨女的爱情故事，恢弘的时代感坍缩成一个作家的悲剧，这种情节处理更接近文学作品的展示，在影像上没有太惊艳的突破。
