- TriviaIn a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pablo Larraín spoke about the origin of the idea of vampires making blood smoothies: "Well, it's a joke. I don't know ... every time I go to L.A., there are all these people making smoothies out of anything and everything. (Laughs.) And that became a fashion everywhere - it spread from California to everywhere. So, we thought that instead of having the vampires do the classical neck bite and sucking the blood and all that, this smoothie thing would be a funny idea and an interesting political comment, too - to open the chest of someone and take out their heart and put it into a blender. You know, the vampires are very eloquent and particular in their motivations."
- GoofsMarie Antoinette's body was buried in a pit, not a tomb. After the revolution, her body was unearthed, identified, and then reburied in a coffin in the basement of St. Denis basilica.

Featured review
Something weird from the other dimension
Beautifully shot in 99.9% B&W from a very leftist perspective about the eternal legacy of power, corruption, greed and wealth using vampirism as a metaphor. Here the church in the embodiment of a condescending nun, who though in nature should be the liberator of vampire souls, is in reality secretly in pursuit of the same forces through lust. It's really quite bizzare, surreal, expressionistic, kind of incomprehensible and black as black comedy can be. The humor can suddenly jump at you and make you laugh and it has some famous political figures in it to set its political stance. Watch it if you want to experience something mesmerizing but weird from the other dimension.
