Abel Ferrara – The Addiction (1995)

Plot:Director Abel Ferrara applies his eccentric vision to the vampire genre with this cerebral “Art”film about graduate philosophy student Kathleen Conklin (Lili Taylor), who is bitten by anaggressive female vampire (Annabella Sciorra) and soon spirals into a nightmarish world ofblood addiction and existential angst. Driven by her merciless condition, she attacks severalof her pretentious friends and classmates (even her professor) and mainlines their blood likeheroin. Just as she becomes more bold in seeking prey on the streets of New York, she iswaylaid by a potential victim — actually a sophisticated vampire himself named Peina(Christopher Walken), who chooses to control his own blood addiction through fasting andmeditation. Seeming to regain her self-control, she eventually completes her graduate thesis(helped by a bit of vampire nepotism) and holds a party to celebrate, inviting the entirefaculty as well as members of her new “family” to join in the festivities. Although the parallelsto heroin addiction are in plain view, this is also a study in the essential evil of humankind — atheme evident in much of Ferrara’s work. — Cavett Binion
