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".
请给雷导换血换脊髓液等等等，反正要保证他长命百岁。虽然故事很狗血，但集中表现人物的权力幻觉倒挺有趣。我鳖还挺适合，当然莱托很可怕😱
[3.5/5.0] Jared Leto 演的 Paolo Gucci 超好笑，例如「這個人本人真的有這麼低能嗎ＸＤ」Jack Huston 帥（律師升級ＣＥＯ）。
为了adam看到底。。剧情真的重点不分。。差的有点远啊和以前的水平啊啊啊啊啊啊
雷导真的不会失手！这部当然不是最佳水平，毕竟豪门恩怨真人真事，剧本上先天就受限制，但这一部还是比all the money in the world好。我嘎真的要奥提，看完承认天生女演员，虽然戏路不一定宽，但就从明星诞生到这部的稳定输出，真的让人不服不行。其他角色也都很厉害，叙事也很得当，摄影打光更不用说完全就是大导基操，而且雷公很克制，要是真按着坊间版本拍那就狗血的没边了。
他们是最有名望和资本的人，他们把电影当玩具。
故事结构完整，虽不算雷老爷子佳作，服装造型布景镜头灯光都尚可，整体效果仍算过得去。
整部电影除了lady gaga和偶尔出镜的GUCCI包包你不知道该夸谁。不像电影更像纪录片。冲突戏太少剧情过于平淡。
这个片的卡司构成比历史本身更耐人寻味。鳖的表演做到了惺惺作态的同时又真情流露，阿尔帕西诺80岁的人了发起脾气来像个小孩般可爱，重点是莱托！莱托……演了个橡皮泥。
好看是好看，就是这司机强装的意大利口音英语太让人出戏，但凡选个能把意大利语说明白的男主不就给四星了嘛。听说接下来要演Enzo Ferrari，球球别再来祸害意大利制造了谢谢，把意大利角色还给意大利演员
在纽约的天台，一些昏暗厚重而清冷的光感（令人想起同在天台的Jules / 16:47 Maricio家的墙壁 / 持续性二流艺术电影，间歇性一流Vogue MV
一个野心勃勃的女人，一个薄情的懦夫，家族之间的权益争夺，本应该是很精彩的故事被拍得平淡又冗长，很难相信这是雷导的作品...gaga作为非科班出身演技还是可圈可点的，完全没看出来是莱托饰演的Pablo Gucci，厉害！很有趣的一点是当年还是日本人到处买买买的年代，Gucci老板也要学日语哈哈。
观感很像一部五集限定剧的浓缩剪辑版 一场一场戏规整地把故事讲完 但也真的就是没啥特点的家庭肥皂剧 放在今年能入围还是托了比较好懂对手又相对冷僻的福 服装确实是不错 拍得应该挺费劲儿的 演员从头到尾的造型没有一套重复的
好暗黑的故事。又好讽刺。
本人作为一个五尺二寸看过无数遍的你嘎路人粉真的吹不起来，说是全年最佳的人是怎么闭着眼睛说出这话的？想想那些六七分的被underrated的好电影，这个电影真的只值两星，勉强靠莱托少爷以假乱真的演技和Adam的翘臀长腿再加一星。
Ridley Scott这个老直男也太会拍亲热戏了…… Gaga和老司机的化学反应 我旁边大妈一边看一边尖叫哈哈哈 Adam driver is such a spicy candy ;)
lady Gaga演得好好啊，真的是传神……排除剧情冗长且没有波澜起伏之外，全片最让我难过的是Patrizia拿着以前和M的照片希望能够拉回他的这一段……M的冷漠和漠不关心真的是感同身受……
Jared Leto来演坏品味版的Alessandro Michele还蛮有趣的。
三星半。老雷又拍了部豪门恩怨，两个半小时篇幅横跨20年，流水账式讲了一遍，深度力度比起《金钱世界》差了一些，豪门恩怨看多了不新奇了，看点是Gucci家的恩怨，然而看完也就这样，多了些锦衣华服而已。铁叔的戏份不多，看他演戏就是一种享受，Paolo居然是莱托演的…我的天这也太毁了吧，根本认不出来啊。
拍的太四平八稳了，乏善可陈，感觉是个假雷导拍的。唯一表扬的是全片所有人物的服装是真的不错。
雷迪嘎嘎把一个温州潮汕女企业家形象演得活灵活现
