Although it's got no release date over here yet, Julie Delpy's new film The Countess certainly looks interesting. Billed as a biopic of famed serial killer Elizabeth Bathory, who supposedly bathed in the blood of virgins in an attempt to look young, the trailer makes it seem like a gothic romance. We don't get to see any actual murders, just a rather chaste-seeming affair between Delpy and Daniel Brühl. Could be interesting, although I'm unsure that the "a Julie Delpy film" at the end of the trailer is really warranted. This is only her second feature length film as a director and much as I liked 2 Days In Paris, it seemed impossible to separate from Before Sunrise/Sunset. I'm intrigued by the international cast. Everyone loves William Hurt and after her affecting performance in 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, I'm excited to see Anamaria Marinca in something else.
Anyway, here's the trailer...
