An Iranian Vampire Western that marks the feature debut of writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour, the film is making its debut at Sundance and, today, a teaser his the web courtesy of Indiewire.
The film is described as a love story set in a fictitious Iranian ghost town reeking of death and loneliness, where a strange and jaded population is haunted by a lonesome vampire who preys upon the city’s most depraved denizens. Shot in widescreen black and white and entirely in Farsi, everything from the characters, the look, a modern soundtrack of 60′s inspired Western guitar music and Iranian pop make the film a mythical mash-up of genre and culture.
