Vampire Weekends
One of the most beloved independent films of the 21st Century, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a tender story of devotion and love first before it becomes a vampire film. The narrative focuses on the relationship between Vampire and Familiar, the vampire's caretaker and is a masterclass in the arts of inductive/deductive cinematography and unfolding show-don't-tell suspense.
Tomas Alfredson's chilly, visually stark, Swedish masterpiece was the true advent of Hoyte Van Hoytema (INTERSTELLAR, DUNKIRK, NOPE, OPPENHEIMER) as one of the great modern cinematographers. It is a truly lovely thriller that deserves a Familiar attention and devotion.
