Horror Movie of the Day: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Dokhtari dar šab tanhâ be xâne miravad, 2014)
Amongst the mythical creatures that have been represented in cinema, none hold a candle to the vampire. Equally sensuous as it is horrifying, it can take on any role; from the most vile of villains to the dreamiest of romantic leads. So… why couldn't one ride a skateboard into the night as an antihero?
In the fictional Iranian hellhole of Bad City, Arash is a struggling young man whose father Hossein has an addiction to heroin, thus making them both the target of the local drug dealer Saeed. One night, when he goes to offer Saeed a pair of diamond pendants to get back the car he recently took as payment for Hossein's debt, he finds the dealer dead… and a strange girl in a black chador coming from his apartment. A girl whom he'll run into again in the future.
Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, this Persian language mixture of a Spaghetti Western with the vampire genre is as peculiar as such a combination of genres would suggest. From the very title of the film there's a sense of misdirection, as the implication would usually be one of danger for the girl when in reality she IS the danger.
As much of an impromptu vigilante preying on men disrespectful to women as she is a loner who gets a kick from messing with kids and rides as skateboard, the character has an iconic appearance in spite (or perhaps because) of the simplicity in display. The world she inhabits is equally mysterious, filled with empty streets and broken inhabitants where vice seems the norm. In contrast, the courtship she has with Arash has a genuine tenderness, yet tension and ambiguity that reminds me quite a bit of Let the right one in (2008).
Deeply atmospheric, sparse in dialogue and accompanied by one eclectic soundtrack, it's quite an acquired taste that can be hard what to make of. One thing for sure, though, is that it's images will stay with you for a while.
