Le Vourdalak

When a traveller and emissary from the French royal family meets a family estate in the Russian forests, a particularly bizarre and memorable encounter ensues.

With LE VOURDALAK, Adrien Beau captures the eerily beautiful Gothic-Romantic vampire novel by Alexei Tolstoy on 16mm film. This is about the well-known trope of the returning, with life-size marionettes showing this visit from the afterlife particularly beautifully. The story is therefore presented with a good dose of imagination. And thanks to his unconventionality, theatrically exaggerated performances and witty, wonderfully filmed tableaus, LE VOURDALAK has almost cult potential and will particularly please friends of the Black Romantic.
