Film Series: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

2014. USA. Dir: Ana Lily Amirpour. With Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi. 99 min.

 

Welcome to Bad City, Iran. It has a lot going for it: drugs, prostitution, death, etc. It also has a girl who spends her nights skating and drinking the blood of its low-lifes. Easily the best black-and-white female-driven Persian-language vampire “Western” to date, Girl demonstrates plenty of style, pop-culture savvy, and biting social commentary.

Tonight / 8 p.m. / Goldsmith Family Cinema / $5
