Although the ups and downs of the movie's plot are not big, the advantage of this movie is that it is based on real events! The prototype of the heroine is called Elizabeth, and she has been looking for a way to maintain her youth for her young lover. She had the girls bled and bathed in the blood, or simply drank it. In addition, this film is not the first film to bring this story to the screen. In 1971, the British filmed a horror film "Countess Dracula", which is based on this story. The new version of "The Countess" is written, directed and acted by actress Julie Delby. She even writes the soundtrack alone. Her hands-on work in front of and behind the scenes is enough to support her as the producer and complete the complicated costume film. . As a French woman, with the support of European and American film funds, and relying on her own "all-round" play, to make a bloody old story so delicate and poignant, the name of Julie Delby's "talented woman" is indisputable. The countess under the lens of Julie Delby is reduced to an aristocratic widow who is obsessed with love, fears the passage of time, and forms a psychological dependence on the blood of a virgin. Excluding witchcraft and legends, what the audience sees is a lonely woman who has gradually become extreme in the trauma of love, still looking forward to the tender hands of her lover after the numbness of life and death.

The Countess quotes

  • King Matthias: Every month I sign dozens of death warrants for those witches. It has become worse than the plague. When will it stop?

    Chancellor: When men become wise... which will not be soon.

  • Erzebet Bathory: God, you have abandoned me. In war hundreds are killed and tortured and they are left there to rot and feed the vultures. And yet, we glorify our warriors. We give them laurel wreaths and honors. But all I get is torment, I cannot be humiliated this way. Give me an illness that will kill me fast. I cannot do it myself, I must go to heaven. Amen.
