“A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night”, it’s a film full of joyful mash-up of genre and prolific influences spanning spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, with influences of  the Iranian New Wave. While comparisons have been made to Jarmusch, Lynch, Tarantino, and Sergio Leone, the film is wholly original and refreshingly daring, signaling the arrival of a bold new voice with writer/director Amirpour.

 A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night also features an impressive cast of actors including leads Sheila Vand (Argo), Arash Marandi (Kunduz: The Incident at Hadji Ghafur) and Dominic Rains (The Taqwacores), as well as Mozhan Marnó (House of Cards, The Stoning of Soraya M), Rome Shadanloo, Marshall Manesh and Milad Eghbali.

Definitely the youthful energy with nowhere to go of two of the main characters, the mystery of the ambience and a beautiful vintage car make this film fascinating. Sheila Vand as a vampire in a chador, looks innocent but aggressive when she has to be. During 107 minutes, in black and white film, any viewer will enjoy many cultural forms of vampirism.
