Music Box Films is releasing horror-comedy Therapy for a Vampire (review) theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on June 10th before expanding it across the country; and to give you an idea of the type of “sharp injection of fervent wit” that awaits, we have a new clip to share thanks to EW.
Karl Fischer, Dominic Oley, Cornelia Ivancan, Tobias Moretti, and Jeanette Hain star in the film, which was written and directed by David Rühm.
Synopsis:
Vienna, 1930. Count von Közsnöm (Moretti) has lost his thirst for life, and his eternally long marriage to Countess Gräfin Elsa von Közsnöm (Hain) cooled centuries ago. Fortunately, Sigmund Freud (Fischer), with his innovative new approach to solving life’s existential problems, is accepting new patients. During their strictly nocturnal sessions, the good doctor suggests the Count appease his vain wife, desperate to see her own reflection, by commissioning a portrait of her by his assistant, Viktor (Oley), an aspiring painter. But it’s Viktor’s headstrong girlfriend, Lucy (Ivancan), who most intrigues the Count, convinced she’s the reincarnation of his one true love. Soon, the whole crowd is a hilarious mess of mistaken identities and misplaced affections in this send-up of the vampire genre, proving once and for all that 500 years of marriage is enough.
