Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
4.5. 第一段hits too close to home，导致第二段久久入不了戏。但是进入勾引的场景后，张力的升降收放如此轻松自如，还是看得人叹为观止。对三个故事私心喜欢的程度依播放顺序递减，但客观上每个故事无论结构还是呈现都鲜有可挑剔的地方。能用如此简练的场景和对白，几乎不费力气地把人物勾勒得鲜明有力，滨口龙介的剧本功力和对人的洞察力的确都够深厚。他的其他长片我其实不太喜欢，感觉太矫揉造作，但把他的这种矫揉造作拿短片的时长和结构框住后，效果还挺惊艳的。
实在是太太太太喜欢了！给了我关乎爱情的、蕴含种种思绪的奇妙想象，这是爱情的魔法，更是电影的魔法。

啊，不好意思啊，我插个题外话……就是……软塌塌的阴茎真的能射出来吗？……like how
很文学的电影，基本上由固定场景和大篇幅对话构成。不管是人物性格还是对话内容都太日本了，现在对这种有点审美疲劳了
看过好几天了，还是没回味完毕，只能说滨口龙介这种戏剧化的絮絮叨叨风格，我十分喜欢
和我在一起可能会让你的人生一团糟，但我还是希望你能选我。
像三个精彩的短篇小说，第一段精准打击，第二段香艳幽默，第三段可爱暖心，对情感关系、心理活动的捕捉还原实在是精细；“如果下次见面，我们之间的魔法消失了，那就随它去吧～”
《开着的门》：对于豆瓣的这个译名，我更倾向于我自己看的电影字幕中将它翻译为“把门打开”，我想这是其中的“濑川教授”为人处世 小心谨慎的一个方式，教授这样说到“简而言之 它能吸引某种类型的读者”，我想吸引的就是我这种，喜欢看到一些禁忌的性的描写。“文字会和读者的经历产生共鸣”这是最好的解释为什么有的时候会喜欢一部作品的原因，里面引诱教授的这位少妇从某个角度看有点像白百何。
洪尚秀＋侯麦？！不过故事也太食之无味，矫揉造作了……最不喜欢最后一个故事，演员让人出戏。
影片是三个与“偶然与想象”有关的故事。最感动我的是第三个故事，两个女主人公借由想象的角色扮演相互吐露心声，相互被治愈。滨口龙介，又一个小说家类的电影导演，拥有奇异的故事想象力，描绘出细腻的人物感情，能写出细密丰富的对话。
大失所望。不敢相信雷公居然用自己曾创造无限辉煌的历史题材和女性主题拍出来这样一部电影。
MK2 Odéon. 比侯麦更洪尚秀，比洪尚秀更侯麦，三个故事都好有意思，话语的力量。La force de la parole est comme moyen de révélateur donne ,d'une certaine façon, aux personnages la liberté de s'exprimer sans limite en faisant monter l'intimité de l'âme et le incertain identificatition en eux.
资料馆跨年最后一场，电影很好看，但是场馆太热了！！！去年如此，今年也如此，anyway，和 2022 say hello！
一种性冷淡式的闷骚，比洪尚秀精致许多，很高级。
第三个故事真的有意思。阴差阳错的开始，无缝上的衔接，又互相救赎的故事。有时候我们需要的不是一个具体的人，仅仅是一个模糊的影像，类似的场景就能让内心的碎花倾巢而出，找到归宿。但她真的不是她吗？你的名字是？想不起来啊，也许就是呢
这个古代Me Too故事竟然是真的，看得我厌男症都要出来了。罗生门结构既写实又讽刺。我愿称雷公为驾驭全题材的全能型导演~
当看到滨口对于三个推镜头的处理的时候，我和恩仔脑海里共同浮现了一个名字，____（某青年导演）。于是你只能深深地感叹，天赋/直觉对于技艺的赋能是如此之巨大，它可以通过后天操练来补足，但是灵光一瞬的魔法在普普众生里，显得那么傲然又应当如是。简单平实的调度承载了得以让观者戚戚然的深邃文本，所以只要一个更为简单的变奏（急推），就让整个磁场骤然倒转。从《魔法》到《洞开》再到《复见》，三个推镜头被赋予不同的变奏意义，又共同服务于同一个大的主题；三个片段之间不必把它们用硬性的、必然的逻辑串连，因为“偶然”与“想象”谓之曰“轻巧”，它的起点是极轻的，但是人性、情感与其后产生的涟漪，又是一颗不安的石子。日后你看不见波纹，但它已在湖底，与鱼虾水草共生。
今晚要点一杯marguerite🥂
简洁，惊喜！还是要好好读书学好文学啊，如果叙事差了什么都白搭。
