FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/el-conde-venice-film-festival-review-a-vampirically-efficient-satire/
"El Conde delivers an effective, brutally gory sociopolitical satire packed with sarcastic commentary, offering an amusing narrative that compares the eternity of vampires with the impunity of the Chilean dictator's crimes.
Technically wonderful, employing a stunning black-and-white canvas that will leave any cinephile delighted, as well as excellent contributions from cinematography, score, and editing for a captivating immersive experience.
Underdeveloped characters and repetitive messages remove some of the biggest impact the film could have had."
Rating: B+
