About this product
Product Information
In director Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION, vulnerable New York University grad student Kathleen (Lili Taylor) becomes a philosophic vampire after an alleyway attack. Shot in expressionistic black and white, Ferrara's film blends a cool underground aesthetic with analytical digressions on Nietzsche and Kierkegaard delivered in a breathy voice-over as Kathleen stalks and seduces new victims. Parallels are drawn between vampirism and drug addiction--and intellectualism and genocide--as Kathleen bites and infects a cross section of the East Village, including cabbies, hustlers, and professors, while completing her doctoral thesis on the nature of evil. Her attacks and dissertations are accented by footage from Vietnam, Bosnia, and Nazi death camps that further the parallels. Christopher Walken has a memorable scene as Peina, an older vampire who gives Kathleen some sage advice. Schoolly D provides a fittingly nihilistic rap soundtrack. As with most of Ferrara's films written by longtime collaborator Nicholas St. John, this is a heady, hallucinatory mix of urban grit, violence, and spirituality. Different from the typical vampire film by a mile, it's worth investigating, especially for Taylor, letter-perfect in her unique role.

- i***s (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseTape was shipped very quickly, and the packaging protected the item. Overall a great value, and I would purchase from the buyer again.
 - l***l (1735)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFast shipping, well packaged, item as described
 - a***c (5470)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI won several movies from this seller over a couple of days then sent multiple 'request combined shipping' msgs. thru the available link which were all ignored only to then receive several ranting msgs. threatening various repercussions due to non-payment then the orders were cancelled with the reason 'at the buyers request' given - a straight up lie - all in all a waste of time with much unnecessary drama bordering on, maybe even crossing over to, a bit of mental instability. Not Recommended!!!
