Bathory
daniel brühl kisses julie delpy and then says “i must go before i lose my mind” and that’s a whole ass mood
Julie Delpy directed, wrote, produced and composed the music for this film. She also plays the infamous Countess Erzebet Bathory, with a fierceness, grace, and agony that I've rarely seen in fucking anything. I posted a Twitter thread while I was watching this because my heart and soul couldn't contain how it made me feel: totally and completely wrecked.
Sometimes I watch something and I wonder where the fuck its been my entire life. Like, where have I been for almost ten years while this movie has existed in the world? Why don't women get to make beautiful, heartbreaking, violently romantic things like this more often? Why don't women get to make things more often, period? What a world we…
the finest trash I've seen in a while. like a really glittery and glossy smut peddler, the filmic equivalent of a spritz at the seine while the smell of sewage is filling the air.
so they took one of the most intriguing subjects one could come up with - serial killer bdsm super countess báthory and her savagely stark life story - and create an high-polished arthouse version of Fifty Shades of Grey. actually even more prudish than the calvin klein ad the straitlaced blockbuster was.
cause what we get is straight up melodrama, aseptically decorated for 50+ audiences. the mix of horrendous dialogues and the dumb german money lurking around every scene is close of being entertaining enough to…
women will do anything in the pursuit of beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!
some of the feminist themes in this r a little too hamfisted for me personally (like a man enacting #justice saying "no mirrors in your room to punish you for your vanity!" when she's literally being entombed for her crimes resulting from her vanity, as if it needed to be said aloud or we would miss it?) but if you dig thru the pop feminist trash about beauty standards (which is literally like the least interesting thing in the world to me b/c every single time almost anything is about beauty standards its from the pov of a thin white cis woman which is boring as shit) there's some interesting stuff…
i'm just like the countess because i too am slowly being driven insane by my love for daniel brühl
I relate to Elizabeth Báthory because I too have not known peace since I first laid eyes on Daniel Brühl. However, I've been handling it with a lot less murder.
oh to gently caress Daniel brühl chest while he sleeps, after a night of passionate love making, cut one lock of his hair and keep it in a little wood box so I can remember him while we're apart. then cut my left titty with a knife, put the hair inside and then sew my titty back so I can keep him always close to my heart
Did Countess Elizabeth Bathory have girl power?
Did she effectively utilize girl power when she murdered hundreds of virgin girls to bathe in their blood as a skincare routine?
i too would kill young girls and bathe in their blood for daniel brühl. all jokes aside julie delpy is absolutely gorgeous and i very much related to the lesbian witch. solid movie
