I write as a fan of Shunji Iwai's cinema: he is a master. An auteur.
The slander written of this film, by previous reviewers, should be ignored. What has been crafted is unique, cerebral, and very disturbing. A must see for fans of cinema, especially followers of Shunji Iwai.
The story, casting, cinematography, and editing, all feel like his previous outings, but the one difference is the obvious: the topic on display is not one routinely viewed in American cinema, which makes this film all the more important.
Vampire belongs in-line with the great films Hanna and Alice, and All About Lily Chou Chou.
No need to explain the storyline, because this film should be watched carefully.
