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".
女主有点像于佩尔啊
我以为会发生点什么的时候，什么都没有发生；我以为应该没啥可发生了的时候，竟然发生了。这不是Anaïs爱情，这是Anaïs秀场，一路从巴黎撩到北法，开始那幕捧花小跑戏有赎罪内味了…
大胆与羞涩的结合 女主总是跑跑跑 好喜欢沙滩做爱吸 黏糊糊的情欲 。
sex scene 太sensual了…想念夏天
等了四十分钟才正式等来第二位女主，一度怀疑这是不是拉片。但中间的暧昧气息还可以。
开篇第一个镜头女主从花店风风火火出来 穿着明艳的红色一路奔跑 就不禁感叹这可太法国电影了 话说 女作家找瓦莱丽亚演一点不意外 阿姨这几年狂接这种 还是可以花两个小时感受一下法式浪漫
很放松的电影，镜头和心情随着女主在夏日里奔跑，轻快明媚。
出乎意料的好看。太喜欢最后安娜伊斯说“我不同意”了。还有艾米丽说“我就在这儿，如果你想要我的话，我就在这儿。”
守着自己仅有的食之无味弃之可惜的东西患得患失，害怕得不到自己想要的，害怕失去已经拥有的，总之就是懦弱懦弱，不要这样，越长大越倒退了。要勇敢。
La vie est une vallée de larmes.
但影片前半段所展现的阿娜伊斯与各种人的沟通都是失效的，同样反向的他人对阿娜伊斯的沟通也是失效的，这是青年的困境，也是人生的常态。
小阿这种人就是电影里非常迷人，但现实中我一定会疯狂避开的…
确实还是法国人最会把情欲与诗意结合在一起。
3.5 les版《喜欢，轻吻，快跑》，结尾深情确实感动了~
之前忘了在哪儿看到说 最近的女同电影为啥总是天寒地冻雨雪交加裹得厚厚实实的样子。 一场被艳阳照耀 在海滩缠绵 于水中共泳 从夏日开始萌芽盛放的爱情这不就来了
一点让我感觉设计的巧妙及经典，前面一直铺垫女主有幽闭恐惧症，不做电梯不做电梯，当最后你以为女儿用优雅结束这不伦之恋的时候，女主强拉着女儿穿过楼道转弯走入电梯，深情拥吻，电梯门关上。剧终。幽闭恐惧不在，爱情包治百病，设计的巧妙，足够触动你向往爱情
“我不同意”
四星半推荐！这个电影很合胃口，风景美，有阳光、沙滩，色调饱满。影片开始会觉得太吵闹，看着看着就渐入佳境。阿娜伊斯热情、勇敢、随心所欲，她总是推着自行车来去匆匆，风风火火，她年轻、有活力，吸引着生活波澜不惊的人。她有些古怪的坚持，不跟别人睡一张床，有幽闭恐惧症所以经常爬楼梯。她读很多书，却不知道自己想要什么，在追寻，在探索。有一天，她遇到了一位作家，岁月在作家身上雕刻出皱纹，却酝酿出更醉人的魅力。她在作家身上看到了自己，于是一切追求、欲望都有了结果。两人坠入爱河。最后必须提的是，女主的吊带裙都超好看！
后半段完全没有预料到这个风风火火的女人的真爱竟是情人的伴侣。作家的淡雅是56岁女人完美的体现，年轻姑娘的大胆与激情也有着随性的魅力，可惜老男人好像谁也配不上。
好久没看过这么轻盈的故事了 好像一切发生都没在发生
