Finally, the Vampire Comedy We’ve Been Waiting For!
Dr. Sigmund Freud (Karl Fischer) has many interesting patients, but perhaps none are so enthralling as Count Geza von Kozsnom (Tobias Moretti), who has become tired of life and full of angst. His wife, the Countess (Jeanette Hain) is vain and blood- thirsty, and his home is empty and gloomy. Freud is also spending time with artist Viktor (Dominic Oley), who is painting the dream images of Freud’s patients, to the disgust of his girlfriend Lucy (Cornelia Ivancan). When the Count complains that his wife is nagging him to describe how she looks because she cannot see herself, Freud suggests that she employ Viktor to obtain a portrait of herself. It seems like a good idea at first, but then the Count sees Lucy, who it turns out is the spitting image of the long-lost love of his life…. This is a really funny gem of a film, full of witty word-play (the Count complains that he has no talent for “self-reflection,” for example) and hilarious sight-gags. Director David Ruhm uses the supernatural traits of vampires with an almost off-hand ease, and perhaps invents some of his own (I never knew vampires had a counting compulsion!), and it’s clear from the performances that the actors were having a wonderful time playing up and against the old vampire tropes. Terrific fun all around!
German vampire comedy has been done better than this one here
“Der Vampir auf der Couch” or “Therapie für einen Vampir” or “Therapy for a Vampire” is a German/Austrian co-production from 2014, so this one is roughly three years old now. It is in the German language of course and was written and directed by David Rühm, certainly his most known work. The movie was a big screen release and runs for under 90 minutes. The star here is probably Tobias Moretti and I believe that it would have been an even worse film without him. Other known actors in this award-winning work include Jeanette Hain, David Bennent (gorn-up Oskar Matzerath, the resemblance is still striking), Anatole Taubman and Karl Fischer. The title already describes very well what you are in here for. It is a mix of vampire movie with occasional horror elements and a comedy movie. The drama always has a somewhat comedic note attached to it, so don’t expect really deep or heavy material. Just expect an occasional laugh. Unfortunately, these laughs are not frequent enough though for me to recommend it. The idea of a disillusioned vampire sitting on the sofa of Sigmund Freud may be a decent one and they elaborate on it fine as well, but that is really just one part of the film and it’s also not working as well and being as entertaining as it could have been. So overall, I would only recommend the movie to these who really love this pretty rare combination of genres and they may even have a great time seeing it. But everybody else can certainly skip it as, while it’s not a bad film by any means, it is still a bit of a missed opportunity.
